I started with a typical chicken Parmesan recipe, and then made a few modifications, to make it into a really yummy dip. I used a combination of ground chicken and pork, and then a few spices to give it some kick. You can make this a day ahead of time, and the bake it on the big day. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
