- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers chopped (use other chilies to your preference, like Fresno or fiery habaneros)
- 10 ounces boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Taco seasoning (you can use a nice Cajun blend, or some of your favorite chili powders)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- ½ cup chicken broth (or use beer)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 8 ounces Blue Cheese dressing (Ranch is good, too, or sour cream)
- ½ cup Buffalo sauce or more!
- 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the peppers and cook them down about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, garlic powder, taco seasonings and chili flakes. Stir and brown the chicken on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the beer or chicken broth and let steam. Reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer 5 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Stir in the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and Buffalo sauce. Make sure everything is nicely incorporated.
Sprinkle on the cheddar cheese and blue cheese and bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until it is nice and bubbly. Serve with chips or your favorite munchie!
This makes a pretty large batch. You can save some, or make a few different smaller bowls and distribute them throughout your party. Enjoy!
Heat Factor: Medium-Hot. You'll get some pretty good heat from the habanero pepper. You can easily reduce the heat by omitting it and focusing on the jalapeno-Fresno pepper heat combination. If you're looking for spicier, add in another habanero and extra chili flakes.
