Cajun Chicken Dip

Pin It
Cajun Chicken Dip

The legendary fight night appetizer. This is the easiest dip to make, and I have literally never had someone try it who didn't scream with happiness.  I have made it here in individual ramekins, but if you're into sharing, it cooks great in an 8x8 pyrex as well. 

You can really use any cheese for this recipe, but
we've found that a better quality cheese yields a better
(read: less heavy) result.
  • 1 package Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Helman's mayonnaise 
  • 1 cup aged white cheddar, grated
  • 1/2 cup marble or cheddar, grated
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Tortilla chips
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Boil chicken breasts in large saucepan filled with water (my dad likes to add a bit of lemon to the water-- CK does NOT)
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat cream cheese and mayo until well combined. Add cheese and jalapenos. 
  4. When chicken is completely cooked (no longer pink inside) shred with two forks and add to bowl. Mix well.
  5. Spread into Pyrex baking dish (or individual ramekins) and liberally sprinkle with cajun spice.
  6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until dip is bubbling on all sides.
