Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- as needed tortilla chips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Finely grate the fresh ginger and mix it with the soy sauce in a small bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
During the cooking process, spoon the ginger-soy mixture over the chicken to infuse it with flavor. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
Shred the chicken using two forks and season with salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto a serving dish or shallow bowl to form the first layer.
Scatter the shredded chicken over the cream cheese mixture as the second layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
Top with the diced tomato, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro for a fresh and vibrant final layer.
Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy the layers of flavor in every bite!
