A tangy and creamy party dip combining shredded chicken, banana peppers, and a smooth cream cheese base, perfect for gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 300g), rotisserie chicken recommended
  • 1/2 cup diced banana peppers (about 75g), jarred or fresh
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the shredded chicken by removing skin and shredding about 2 cups (300g). Pat dry if needed.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add shredded cheddar cheese, diced banana peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken, coating it well with the creamy mixture without overmixing.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Drain banana peppers well to prevent excess liquid. Check dip at 18 minutes if oven runs hot to avoid burning. Let dip rest after baking for easier serving. Leftovers can be reheated covered at 325°F for 10-15 minutes or microwaved.
