- ½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- ½ cup Sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 handful Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
- Thoroughly combine shredded chicken, sour cream, cream cheese, dried thyme, chili flakes, sundried tomatoes, fresh thyme, scallions, cheddar, parmesan, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until the mixture reaches a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Evaluate the flavor profile and fine-tune seasoning as necessary to enhance overall taste.
- Select an oven-safe dish and carefully transfer the prepared mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Generously scatter shredded mozzarella across the top, creating a complete coverage.
- Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C) with fan bake setting.
- Position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, monitoring until the dip turns golden and develops a tempting bubbling texture.
- For an elevated crispy finish, activate the broiler and expose the dip for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Extract the dip from the oven with caution, using appropriate heat-resistant protection.
- Serve immediately alongside complementary accompaniments such as pita chips, focaccia, flatbreads, or fresh vegetable crudités for a delightful appetizer experience.
Notes
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed version that maintains creamy texture.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a super quick prep and added flavor depth without extra cooking time.
- Skip chili flakes or reduce amount for kid-friendly or sensitive palate version, maintaining mild taste profile.
- Make it gluten-free by serving with gluten-free crackers or vegetable sticks instead of traditional bread options.
