Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip

It was a lazy and rainy day yesterday, and after a long 'Fall break’ weekend that was filled with plenty of fun and excitement, it was a good day to rest. I’m honestly not sure I even got out of my pajamas, and neither did my daughter. Yep, that’s just how lazy we were. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo Dip was a perfect rainy day snacky sort of dinner.

Like I said, we were being uber lazy. So cheesy chicken dip for dinner just sounded like it fit. No guilt here though! This Alfredo dip is just about as guilt-free as an Alfredo anything can be. It’s low-carb, delicious, and actually surprisingly easy to make - even from scratch!

The first thing I did to lighten this dip up was to use a low-fat cream cheese and a reduced fat milk. Other than that, everything else was pretty straight forward. For me, a reduced sodium chicken broth is always a must. I prefer to season things on my own and it definitely helps when lowering the sodium of any recipe.

This warm dip would make a great appetizer for an Italian night feast or served with a small Italian salad for a lighter and more ‘snack’ like lunch or dinner. It’ll likely disappear really quickly on any game-day or tailgating spread too!

I chose to serve this dip with a mix of par-steamed broccoli, veggie chips, and some pasta chips too for dipping. All were really strong choices and tasted amazing with the Alfredo dip! Slices of fresh or toasted French baguette would have been a good option too!

No matter what you’re dippers are, this stuff is addicting. I was legit licking the spoon there in the middle of getting it into the oven.
