Everything you love about a creamy jalapeño popper dip, combined with cheesy shredded chicken! Great as a dip, served over a baked potato or pasta, or as a fun dinner idea.
With the big game coming up soon, even if you’re not a huge football fan, I bet you’re a fan of game day foods. I mean what’s not to love about some honey buffalo meatballs, pesto chicken sliders, or garlic soft pretzel bites!
So whether you’re hosting a party, or attending one, this jalapeno popper dip with shredded chicken is the perfect party food.
It’s great with a variety of dippers, can be assembled ahead of time, and is super customize-able.
And while it’s a recipe I typically associate with parties and game days, I also love to spoon some of this dip over a baked potato or pasta for a fun dinner or lunch!
