Ingredients

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 (combination of Monterey Jack and cheddar, pepper jack optional)
  • 1/3 cup pickled banana peppers, drained
  • 1/3 cup pickled cherry peppers, drained
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or 1/2 tsp if not using bacon)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 6-8 slices cooked bacon, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish, pie pan, or cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, diced fresh jalapeños, pickled banana and cherry peppers, shredded rotisserie chicken, garlic powder, salt, freshly cracked pepper, half of the shredded cheese, half of the cooked diced bacon (if using), and the homemade creamy jalapeno dip until smooth and easily spreadable.
  3. Transfer Mixture: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for an even layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top and optionally garnish with extra jalapeno slices and the rest of the diced bacon to add extra flavor and texture.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the edges are bubbly and the dip is warmed through with a golden, melted cheese crust.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, leave jalapeño seeds in or add more fresh jalapeños.
  • Substitute rotisserie chicken with shredded cooked chicken breast for a homemade touch.
  • The homemade creamy jalapeno dip can be replaced with store-bought creamy jalapeno sauce if preferred.
  • Use pepper jack cheese alone for a spicier cheese blend.
  • Adjust the salt quantity depending on whether bacon is included, as bacon adds saltiness.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
