4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
5. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbling, and lightly golden.

Notes
Allow the dairy-free cream cheese to soften before mixing so the dip becomes smooth and creamy.
Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time when preparing the recipe.
Avoid overbaking the dip to keep the texture creamy instead of dry.
