Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag (for serving) Tortilla chips
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, set the heat to medium and add the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, including the juices from the can.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and add them to the skillet along with the cream cheese. Stir frequently until both cheeses are melted and smooth.
Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated, and the seasonings are distributed throughout.
Reduce the heat to low and let the dip simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding a little more garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
Once the dip is hot and fully combined, transfer it to a serving dish or a slow cooker set to the 'warm' setting to keep it hot while serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
