Man am I a huge fan of dips and this Football BBQ Chicken Dip is soo cool and so dang delicious!
This has to be one of the easiest dip recipes ever. Start by shredding a rotisserie chicken and add it to a slow cooker along with some cream cheese and this simple homemade BBQ Sauce. Put it on high for 30 minutes and then simply mix everything together. From there, cut a hole in the center of a football shaped bread loaf, there are plenty at your local grocery store, and stuff it up with the shredded chicken mixture, top off with shredded Colby Jack cheese and bake it in the oven!
I simply used some homemade ranch dressing to make the football laces but you could use some long green onion slices!
Serve it up with tortilla chips and some leftover chunks of bread from the hole you cut out.
