Chicken and Velveeta Cheese Dip
Football is upon us and that means it is appetizer season! Chicken and Velveeta Cheese Dip is one of my family's favorite additions to our appetizer arsenal, but especially around the Superbowl. I love it because it is a simple dump dip, meaning, I literally just dump everything into the skillet and bake it. There is a tiny bit of chopping with the chicken, the cheese, and the green onions but I can handle that. I also love it because it is absolutely delicious and my family devours it.
Chicken and Velveeta Cheese Dip Recipe
This Chicken and Velveeta Cheese Dip recipe calls for rotisserie chicken. Now, you can go to the store, or use my slow cooker rotisserie chicken recipe. Either way, I love how the flavor of the chicken really pops through the cheese and veggies. Once you have your chicken you will need to shred or chop the chicken up. I learned the hard way to make sure that however you slice it, you do it small. The smaller the pieces of chicken the better. Those tortilla chips just cannot stand up against big huge chunks of chicken meat. Another pro tip, if you have a house full of hungry mouths, go ahead and make or buy two rotisserie chickens, there is just no way to get through the cutting of the chicken without sneaky little hands stealing your precious ingredients:)
How to Make Chicken Cheese Dip
There are a whopping five steps for this recipe. Get out your biggest skillet. I use a 13 inch one and I fill it. Put all of your ingredients inside and give it a good stir. Pop it into your oven and after about 5 minutes, you will want to stir it up. Most of the ingredients are starting to melt so you want to move it around a little bit so they have a chance to get equal time under the heat. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes (or until all of the cheese has fully melted) and serve it with some salty, sturdy tortilla chips. This last step is important. This dip needs a sturdy chip because the cheese and the chicken and tomatoes get heavy. You don't want your chips breaking off.
Other Alternative Ingredients
I would wait and add these after you have pulled the dip out of the oven, but some other ideas for things you could add to the Chicken and Velveeta Cheese Dip are:
- Jalapenos
- Diced Fresh Tomatoes
- Sour Cream
- Refried Beans
- Lots of extra chips for dipping!
Slow Cooker Velveeta Cheese Dip
I personally just love cooking in a skillet, but this is the perfect recipe for throwing in a slow cooker as well. Since all of the ingredients just basically need to melt together, you can follow the directions below for Skillet Chicken and Velveeta Cheese dip, but switch to your trust crock-pot. This one will need an hour on high or 2 hours on low to completely blend together. Don't forget to stir it a few times so the cheese doesn't stick to the sides and burn!
