Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This way it’s ready when you finish in the pressure cooker.
  • In a big bowl, toss your shredded chicken with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, paprika, and oregano. Mix it up so all those flavors get comfy together.
  • Add your cubed Velveeta cheese, pepper jack cheese, and cream cheese to the bowl. Then toss in the chopped jalapeño for that spicy twist.
  • Mingle all those ingredients well until the cheese and chicken mix looks kinda like a cheesy chicken spread.
  • Transfer this mixture straight to an oven-safe baking dish. You want it spread evenly so it bakes through perfect.
  • Place the dish in your preheated oven. Bake it for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly with some nice browning.
  • Once out the oven, let it cool just a bit. You don’t wanna burn your fingers but you gotta dig in soon because it smells so inviting.
  • Serve warm with a big bowl of your favorite tortilla chips and watch everyone go back for more.

Notes

This easy baked chicken queso dip is perfect for parties and quick weeknight snacks. Use rotisserie chicken for extra convenience and enjoy the creamy cheesy melt with a spicy kick from jalapeño.
