How to Make Jalapeno Popper Dip:

- In a large bowl, add the cooled chicken, bacon, jalapenos, mayo, sour cream, cream cheese, shredded cheese (reserving about 1/2 cup for the top), Ranch, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the mixture into an 8×8 casserole dish and top with the reserved bacon and cheese.

What chicken can I use?
For this jalapeno dip you can either cook a fresh chicken breast or use canned chicken (drained). Either works great for this dip recipe!
Can I use canned jalapenos?
You can use fresh jalapenos or canned jalapenos. We like the fresh jalapenos, just be sure to finely chop the pepper so it bakes through and isn’t crispy.
Make Ahead – This dip is perfect to make ahead of time, just prepare everything and add it to the casserole dish and refrigerate. Then just bake and serve!
What Can I Serve This Dip With:
We love serving this dip with crackers, tortilla chips, celery, cucumber slices, pita chips, and more!
