This creamy, decadent dip is studded with green onions, salty bacon and chunks of tender chicken. It's a crowd-pleasing appetizer or even a meal in itself with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetables.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil; cook until cheese is lightly golden brown in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with additional bacon and scallions.

Cook's Note:

You can make the dip entirely in the microwave as well. Prepare the recipe as directed through Step 2, without topping with the 3/4 cup cheddar. Microwave on HIGH until hot and melted, stirring occasionally, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and top with remaining 3/4 cup cheddar. Top with additional bacon and scallions, and serve.
