Description

Indulge in a rich and savory chicken tapenade dip, a delightful departure from ordinary snacks. This creamy concoction features a luscious base of softened cream cheese, lending a smooth and velvety texture that melts in your mouth. Abundant shreds of tender, cooked chicken are generously incorporated, providing a satisfying heartiness that transforms this dip into a truly substantial treat.

The star of the show is the tapenade, a vibrant Mediterranean relish that infuses the dip with its complex and briny character. The tapenade, made from finely chopped olives, capers, and aromatic herbs, releases bursts of salty, tangy, and savory notes that dance across your palate. A medley of fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or oregano, are finely minced and stirred into the mix, adding a refreshing, herbaceous counterpoint to the richness of the cheese and tapenade.

Their bright, clean flavors elevate the dip, creating a symphony of tastes that is both comforting and invigorating. The finished dip is a kaleidoscope of textures and flavors. The creamy cheese, the meaty chicken, and the chunky tapenade create a harmonious balance that is incredibly addictive.

The aroma is equally enticing, a blend of savory olives, fragrant herbs, and the subtle sweetness of cream cheese. Imagine serving this dip at your next gathering, alongside an array of crisp crudités like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks. Alternatively, spread it on sturdy crackers, toasted baguette slices, or even use it as a flavorful filling for lettuce wraps.

Each bite is an explosion of flavor, a testament to the simple yet elegant combination of ingredients. This dip is more than just a snack; it's an experience, a journey to the Mediterranean with every mouthful. It's perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a satisfying treat all to yourself.

Prepare to be captivated by its irresistible charm.

Instructions

    1.
    Season a large chicken thigh with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Drizzle olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and place the chicken in the pan. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through.
    2.
    Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board to cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken.
    3.
    Return the pan to the stove. Melt the cream cheese over low heat, scraping up any leftover seasoning. Once melted, whisk in heavy cream, fresh basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
    4.
    Bring the dip to a simmer. Then, on low heat, return the shredded chicken to the dip and stir in the tapenade, reserving ½ tablespoon for garnish.
    5.
    Pour the heated chicken dip into a serving dish and top with the reserved tapenade. Garnish with extra basil and serve with your favorite keto-friendly dippers!
