Marry Me Dip: A Love-at-First-Bite Appetizer

They say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and this Marry Me Dip proves it. Creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor, this baked appetizer combines shredded chicken, cream cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes into a warm, irresistible dish that’s bound to make anyone fall in love — bite after bite.

The inspiration comes from the viral Marry Me Chicken recipe, known for its creamy Parmesan-tomato sauce that’s rich and crave-worthy. I decided to turn those same flavors into a dip, and the result was pure magic. It’s now one of my most-requested dishes for game days, potlucks, and family gatherings — and it never lasts long!
