Chicken artichoke dip
This creamy and filling appetizer is a healthy twist on classic Spinach Artichoke Dip! With the addition of rotisserie chicken and Greek yogurt, you’ll get 12g of protein per serving, and can have this all ready in 5 minutes.

Last week, my mom and I invented this delicious dip. She was visiting because of not-so-great circumstances, but we were able to make the best of the situation with food — of course! I loved brainstorming meals together and getting to cook in the same kitchen. The last time we really got to cook together was around Christmas, so it had been at least 9 months.
One of my favorite meals we made was from one of the last nights together. We decided to do a family favorite — “appetizer dinner.” In addition to hummus and veggies, tomato flatbreads, and vegetable summer rolls, we decided to make up Chicken Artichoke Dip.
making the dip
The inspiration came from our attempt to use up leftover rotisserie chicken, and I’m always a huge fan of dips in general. So we mixed up chicken, plain Greek yogurt, canned artichoke hearts, fresh spinach, and some spices. A good squeeze of lemon and diced shallot was just what it needed.
Putting it together couldn’t have been easier. And the result was a flavorful dip that was both light but felt decadent.
We served ours with cucumbers, red pepper, tortilla chips, and crackers.
If you haven’t tried these crackers, you will not regret buying them right now. I absolutely LOVE Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers! They remind me of a crisp pita chip, and they don’t taste gluten free at all. In fact, everyone loves them, so be sure to get extra.
These were a little thin for the hearty Chicken Artichoke Dip, but I made it work with some careful dipping.
This would also make an excellent wrap or sandwich, but we barely had any leftover!
Modifications:
- Trade out plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. This will add some calories and reduce the amount of protein by about 3 grams per serving.
- Add extra Greek yogurt and lemon juice if you prefer a saucier consistency.
- Add diced red bell pepper or piquillo peppers.
- Add other seasonings like dill, cayenne pepper, or black pepper.
