Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (cubed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnishes & Serving
- Chopped green onions, cilantro, or sliced jalapeños (optional)
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), cream cheese cubes, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to a crock pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook Slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2–3 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to help the cheeses melt evenly and prevent sticking, until the dip is hot, creamy, and fully melted together.
- Final Stir and Garnish: Stir the dip thoroughly before serving to ensure a smooth consistency. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sliced jalapeños to add freshness and a bit of heat if desired.
- Serve Warm: Serve the dip warm alongside tortilla chips for dipping. For parties, keep the dip warm on the crock pot’s ‘warm’ setting between servings.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken makes this recipe quick and easy without sacrificing flavor.
- For extra spiciness, use hot Rotel tomatoes or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Keep the crock pot on the ‘warm’ setting during parties to maintain the perfect serving temperature and prevent the dip from drying out.
