Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (Rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 (14-ounce) can Rotel, drained well
- 1 (16-ounce) block Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, cubed
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeño
Garnishes
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- Chopped cilantro (optional)
- Diced jalapeño (optional)
- Diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Load the Slow Cooker: Place the shredded chicken, drained Rotel, cubed Velveeta cheese, cubed cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, rinsed black beans, and diced jalapeño into your slow cooker.
- Cook and Stir: Turn the slow cooker onto high. Cover and cook for 60 to 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is warm, creamy, and well combined.
- Finish With Green Onions: Stir in the diced green onions to add a fresh, mildly sharp flavor to the dip just before serving.
- Serve and Garnish (Optional): Serve the dip directly from the slow cooker to keep it warm, or transfer to a serving dish. Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro, extra diced jalapeños, or diced tomatoes for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy immediately with tortilla chips or as desired.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shredded chicken base.
- Drain the Rotel well to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity to your preferred spice level.
- For a milder dip, omit or reduce the jalapeños.
- Keep the dip warm in the slow cooker on low if not serving immediately.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
