Kansas City BBQ Chicken Dip is a popular appetizer that is perfect for parties, game day, or any casual get-together. This creamy and flavorful dip combines the irresistible taste of BBQ chicken with the creamy goodness of cheese. Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs in this recipe ensures that the chicken remains moist and flavorful. Whip in some modest amounts of cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese for a velvety and gooey texture. The chopped red onion provides some texture and a little extra flavor. Served with chips, crackers, or veggies, this dip is a definite crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

4.	In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken thighs until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks.
