Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 large jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 cups homemade Chuy’s creamy jalapeno dip
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups shredded cheese (a combination of Monterey Jack and Cheddar, or Pepper Jack works great)
- 1/3 cup pickled banana peppers, drained
- 1/3 cup pickled cherry peppers, drained
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (use 1/2 tsp if not using bacon)
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 6–8 slices cooked bacon, diced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish, pie pan, or cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with diced fresh jalapeños, pickled banana and cherry peppers, shredded rotisserie chicken, garlic powder, salt, cracked pepper, half of the shredded cheese, half of the diced bacon (if using), and the homemade creamy jalapeno sauce. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the combined dip mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top and add additional sliced jalapeños and the rest of the diced bacon if desired for extra flavor and garnish.
- Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges of the dip are bubbly and the cheese on top has melted completely. The dip should be heated through and ready to serve hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeños and pickled peppers based on your spice preference.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and increase salt to 1/2 tsp.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting results.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven.
