Description
This easy chicken and bacon jalapeno popper dip is a crowd-pleasing chip dip for any occasion!
Ingredients
Dip Mixture
- Bacon: 6 slices
- Rotisserie Chicken: 2 cups, shredded
- Cream Cheese: 8 oz, softened
- Mayonaise: 1 cup
- Sour Cream: 1/2 cup
- Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Jalapenos: 4, finely diced
- Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups, shredded
Topping Mixture
- Ritz Crackers: 1 cup, crushed
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup
- Butter: 1/4 cup, melted
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the bacon slices on a large pan on medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 minutes) and then chop them into small pieces once cooled. While those cook, shred the rotisserie chicken breasts in a bowl using two forks or an electric hand mixer.
- Mix: To a large bowl, combine and mix the softened cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with an electric hand mixer. Fold in the bacon pieces, chicken, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese and then transfer the dip to a small baking dish.
-
Bake: To a small bowl, combine and mix the crushed crackers (crush them in a ziplock back with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin), parmesan and melted butter with a fork and then evenly sprinkle it on top of the dip. Bake the dip uncovered on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes or until the cracker topping is golden.
Notes
When taking apart the rotisserie chicken, I find it easiest to use the chicken breast portion of the chicken. It's a lot easier to transfer to a bowl and shred using a hand mixer.
Dice the jalapeno into small pieces. This will ensure the jalapeno is evenly distributed and will cook down easier while it bakes so it's not an overly crunchy dip.
