This Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Dip is a creamy, cheesy appetizer bursting with flavors from shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and spicy taco seasoning. Perfect for parties or game day, it’s easy to prepare by simply combining all the ingredients in a slow cooker and letting them meld into a warm, bubbly dip.

Ingredients

Cheeses

  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cheddar cheese, diced into large chunks
  • 1/2 block cream cheese (about 4 oz) or substitute sour cream

Proteins

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (from about 2 medium chicken breasts)

Vegetables & Beans

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1 jalapeno, minced

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the cheddar cheese blocks into large chunks to ensure they melt evenly. Mince the jalapeno finely for spice distribution.
  2. Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the diced cheddar cheese, shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, diced tomatoes, black beans, olives (if using), minced jalapeno, and taco seasoning into the slow cooker. Stir briefly to incorporate the ingredients together.
  3. Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker on High and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to make sure the cheese melts evenly and the dip becomes bubbly and thoroughly warmed.
  4. Serve Warm: Once the cheese is completely melted, bubbly and the dip is hot throughout, turn off the slow cooker. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more jalapeno or some cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute the cream cheese with sour cream if preferred for a tangier flavor.
  • This dip can be kept warm in the slow cooker on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for up to 2 hours after cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
  • For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of tomatoes or drain excess liquid before adding to slow cooker.
