A creamy, cheesy, and spicy low-carb dip that combines tender chicken, smoky bacon, and jalapeños for the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Perfect for parties, game days, or a cozy snack with keto-friendly dippers!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 5 slices uncured bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping)
  • ⅔ cup Bacon Ranch Dressing
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup fresh jalapeños, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh chives, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ tsp garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, whip softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in Bacon Ranch Dressing, sour cream, garlic salt, and chives until fully combined.
  3. Combine the Chicken Mixture: In another bowl, mix shredded chicken, 1½ cups of cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup), jalapeños (save some for garnish), and half the crumbled bacon. Fold in the cream cheese mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Spread the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes, then increase oven temperature to 400°F and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Let cool slightly before garnishing with remaining bacon and chives. Serve warm with celery sticks, cucumber slices, pork rinds, or homemade cheese crackers.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Pair with keto-friendly dippers like celery sticks or pork rinds. For non-keto guests, tortilla chips or crackers work well.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing.
  • Adjust spice level by adding or reducing jalapeño seeds.

Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or bake at 350°F until warmed through.
