Chicken-Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip|This Is Why I’m Full
I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet, but I have recently become addicted to jalapeno cream cheese… I have a problem. I try to find a way to put it in everything I make… But this Chicken-Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip is a meal that I came up with when I was looking for something to make for Dan’s friend Luke’s Bacon and Beer birthday party. I found a recipe for Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken (that I ended up making just for dinner one night, I came up with Poor Man’s Poppers for the party) and I thought that this might be better as a dip, it took me a couple of days to figure out exactly what the best way to make this come out the way I wanted it to. And it was worth the time I spent thinking about it because it came out great. It came out a little spicy so I wouldn’t use both the jalapenos and the jalapeno cream cheese, but other than that it was awesome! We ate it with some Ritz crackers (and by we I mean me, Dan ate his with a really big spoon!) Anyway, it was really good!

- 2 whole chicken breasts large
- 1 lb bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 cup Shredded Cheese
- 8 oz jalapeno cream cheese
- 6 oz Velveeta cheese
- 3 cup Water
- 2 cup rice
- 2 medium jalapenos membranes and seeds removed
- 1 sleeve ritz crackers
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- Preheat oven to 375
- Cook chicken breasts (we used the crock pot because it's so much easier with both of us working so much!)
- Take cooked chicken and shred
- Cook your rice
- Boil the 3 cups of water
- Mix the Velveeta and Cream Cheese into the boiling water (I had to whisk it, and it took some work to get it all mixed!)
- This will make a delicious, if rather thin, sauce
- Put chicken, bacon, jalapenos, rice and seasonings into a large bowl and mix
- Stir in sauce
- Put the whole delicious mix into a baking pan (I used our loaf pan because it's just the two of us, for more people I would use a 13x9 and double the recipe as this only serves 4-5 the way I made it.)
- Crush up crackers and sprinkle on top
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over top (I didn't want any cheese on my half so I put it all on Dan's side!)
- Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes (mostly to cook the jalapenos)
- Enjoy!
