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
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
Optional Garnish
- Chopped cilantro
- Diced jalapeño
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Load the Slow Cooker:
Place the shredded chicken, Rotel, Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, black beans, and diced jalapeño into your slow cooker. - Cook and Stir:
Turn the slow cooker onto high. Cover and cook for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is warm and creamy. - Finish With Green Onions:
Once the mixture is melted and combined, stir in the diced green onions to add a fresh, mildly sharp flavor to the dip. - Serve and Garnish (Optional):
Serve directly in the slow cooker to keep the dip warm, transfer it to a serving dish, or pour it over tortilla chips to create nachos. Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced jalapeños, or diced tomatoes, if desired, for extra flavor and presentation. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: Using Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor with minimal effort.
- Adjust the Spice Level: Modify the amount of diced jalapeño or taco seasoning to suit your spice tolerance. For a milder taste, omit the jalapeños.
- Cheese Alternatives: Swap Velveeta for another melty cheese like Monterey Jack or a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella for a twist.
- Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop, stirring gently.
- Serving Tip: Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
