To achieve a well-balanced Spicy-Savory Pepper-Jack “Crack” Chicken Dip, the incorporation of chicken and jalapeños is vital. Start with pre-cooked shredded chicken; rotisserie chicken works beautifully for its convenience and flavor. As you mix the chicken into your base, ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the dip. This not only guarantees every bite has a delightful taste of chicken but also helps meld the flavors of the dip together.
