This Cheesy Chicken Corn Dip is absolutely addicting and made in the microwave in just a few minutes!
It’s corn season here in New Jersey! Throughout most of the year I hardly ever think about corn, but in the summer I cannot get enough fresh corn. If you’ve never had Jersey corn, you should definitely try it – it is the BEST. I am not saying that just because I live here; I’ve had corn from other states and it just doesn’t compare. It’s not as sweet, juicy, or flavorful as Jersey corn. So when sweet corn is on sale for 6 for $2, I am a happy lady. I stock up and eat it every day – grilled, boiled, or microwaved with a pat of salted butter, or in delicious recipes such as the ones in this post.
I wish I could say I made this No-Bake Cheesy Chicken Corn Dip because we were having company over, that I made it to share with people. But nope! I made this because I was craving a cheesy, no-good-for-you, addictive dip. And I wanted a whole big bowl of it.
This dip is seriously delicious and addictive and we ate it all in two days. It’s ooey, gooey, and amazing when you dip crunchy corn chips or crackers into it, or some carrots if you want to try to pretend to be healthy. And the fresh corn in the dip gives it a perfect little juicy crunch in every bite.
This Cheesy Chicken Corn Dip is super easy to make and is perfect for summer because you don’t have to turn the oven on, and you can use fresh corn for maximum flavor.
I made this dip in my lovely CorningWare dishes which I absolutely adore! They are great because they can go in the microwave and the oven, and then be covered with a lid for storage of leftovers in the fridge. Plus they are pretty and classy!
