Cajun Chicken Dip
I don’t feel so bad for admitting my Netflix addiction because I learned that SO many others have the same problem and my only problem with that is that now I have added so many more shows to my list to binge on when Private Practice is over. Update: I am now in season 5 and the drama is intensifying and I’m already anticipating a breakdown at the end of the last season.
Help me now!
You know what else I binge on? Spotify. When not overdoing it with Netflix, I’m binge-listening to my favorite music. Lately it’s been (don’t laugh) Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and the new album from Dierks Bentley. I have always been a fan…but this new album, oh my gosh. From top to bottom it is SO good. Lyrically and musically, I can’t get enough!
Know what else I can’t get enough of? Appetizers, dips, hot dips, and now, for Cajun dips. I made homemade Cajun Seasoning so why not add it to some chicken & cheese for an amazingly spicy, creamy dip? Yes. Oh yes.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I would eat snacks all day long rather than have a sit-down meal. And for those snack-y days, I definitely want this Cajun Chicken Dip!

This dip, my face. Together forever!
I’m already obsessed with this dip and I haven’t even tried it yet. YUM!
The perfect dip for game day and binge watching in front of the tv!
We’re redoing a room in our house and my Justin Timberlake Pandora station is my go-to. I definitely need to listen to some Dierks again though. I used to love him, but then I stopped listening to country for awhile. This dip needs to be my best friend. I’m pretty sure we’d be inseparable.
Cheesy spicy chicken? YUM…bring on the chips! 🙂
Netflix and this dip sounds like the perfect evening for me!
Such a great dip, I love these flavors!
Oh gosh this dip! I love dips but eat wayyy too much each time I make one! haha I would love a batch of this while binge watching Chuck on Netflix (my current show obsession).
I binge watch shows too so don’t feel bad! As I type this I’m binge watching Revenge. Why did I never watch this show before, I’ll never know 🙂 Now I’m wishing I could have this dip with me right now as I watch it.
Oh wow I might like this more than the Buffalo chicken dip.
We are almost the same person. Except I haven’t made it through Private Practice yet! I keep watching it in spurts. Eventually I’ll get there.
I want large spoonfuls of this dip in my mouth. ASAP.
OH, I could totally make a meal out of this delicious dip! That’s one hearty, scrumptious lookin’ chip-full you have there!
This dip looks amazing! the perfect thing to accompany a netflix binge!
This is calling to me. I’m SUITING UP.
I am so all over this dip. MMMMMMmmmmnom nom nom. Have you heard Imadipper?!
Dip sounds great but you don’t say how much lemon juice you used. Thanks

Hi Pat, sorry about that. I just used a small squeeze from half a lemon..maybe 1-2 teaspoons. Enjoy!
