    The Best Cheesy Chicken Chili Dip

    October 27, 2016 by Patti Estep 5 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This cheesy chicken chili dip is so easy to make. Great for any party or for just hanging out to watching football or a movie with the family.

    My sister invited us over to celebrate her son's twelfth birthday. I knew there were going to be a lot of people because we have a large family and so does her husband. She is perfectly capable of cooking for a large crowd. In fact, she also writes a blog called My Life Cookbook. Many of her posts revolve around unique and tasty low-carb options, but she also includes many family favorites. So even though she didn't really need it, I offered to bring an appetizer to help her out. I tried to think of something my nephew, who is also my Godson, would like. I ended up with a cheesy chicken chili dip and brought it in a slow cooker so that it would keep warm without interfering with the kitchen.

    Cheesy Chicken Chili Dip

    I started this recipe the same way I make my everyday chili recipe. Saute onions and peppers in olive oil. Somewhere along the line I read or watched on a TV show, a method that adds the spices to the sauteed vegetables first, instead of adding them in with the sauce.

    Then I added meat from a rotisserie chicken that I picked up the night before. This was a big time saver. All that was left was adding some broth and lots and lots of cheese.

    Served with tortillas chips and a spoon so people could scoop out as much as they wanted onto their very own plate.
