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
- Diced jalapeño
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Load the Slow Cooker: Place the shredded chicken, drained Rotel, Velveeta cheese cubes, cream cheese cubes, sour cream, taco seasoning, rinsed black beans, and diced jalapeños into the slow cooker.
- Cook and Stir: Turn the slow cooker to high heat. Cover and cook for 60 to 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the cheeses melt evenly and the ingredients combine into a warm, creamy mixture.
- Finish With Green Onions: Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth, stir in the diced green onions to add a fresh and mildly sharp flavor contrast to the creamy dip.
- Serve and Garnish (Optional): Serve the dip directly in the slow cooker to keep it warm, or transfer to a serving bowl. Optionally, pour over tortilla chips to make nachos, and garnish with chopped cilantro, additional diced jalapeños, and diced tomatoes for extra flavor and color. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- The dip can be kept warm in the slow cooker on the warm setting for up to 2 hours.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
- Adjust the amount of diced jalapeño based on your preferred spice level.
- Can be made ahead and reheated gently in the slow cooker.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sliced bell peppers, or crackers for dipping.
