BBQ Chicken Dip

This sounds like a wonderful dip for an appetizer or for a snack when watching a sports game. But I really think that this scooped up and used in a tortilla would be the perfect choice. I will make this soon! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Cream cheese, this is 2 blocks, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup red onion, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C and get out a baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the Cream cheese, mayo, and BBQ sauce of your choosing, using the shortcut for this will save you some money. Once that is mixed, stir in the Mozzarella cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion, cilantro and shredded chicken. Once combined, spread this into your baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the the Cheddar cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown up just a bit.
  • Remove from the oven, garnish by drizzling with some BBQ sauce then topping with a bit of cilantro and onion.
  • Serve as a dip with a big bowl of potato chips OR, spoon onto tortillas and roll up, then enjoy.

Notes

Chicken will run about 30-40 Baht/500 grams which should be good for 2 cups of shredded chicken. 30 Baht being thighs, 40 Baht being breasts, I would go with a bit of both, so I will say 35 Baht for the chicken. Cream cheese will run about 240 Baht, the Mozzarella cheese would cost about 90 Baht, and the 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese will run about 45 Baht. For 6 servings, this is about $2 per serving, a bit less for 8 servings. This sounds like a great dish for a every once in a while meal or appetizer.
