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, Velveeta cheese cubes, cream cheese cubes, sour cream, taco seasoning, black beans, and diced jalapeño into your slow cooker. This mixture forms the base of your dip.
- Cook and Stir: Turn the slow cooker onto the high setting. Cover and cook the mixture for 60 to 90 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking to help the cheeses melt evenly and to combine all ingredients into a warm, creamy dip.
- Finish With Green Onions: Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, stir in the diced green onions to add a fresh, mildly sharp flavor to the dip.
- Serve and Garnish (Optional): Serve the dip directly from the slow cooker to keep it warm, or transfer it to a serving dish. You can also pour it over tortilla chips to create loaded nachos. Garnish with chopped cilantro, additional diced jalapeños, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly shredded rotisserie chicken.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your preferred spice level.
- Stirring occasionally during cooking prevents cheese from sticking or burning on the sides of the crock pot.
- This dip is perfect for parties and can be kept warm in the slow cooker during serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in a microwave or slow cooker.
