Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is ideal)

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 packet ranch seasoning mix (approximately 2 tablespoons)

1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled; adjust based on heat preference)

1/2 cup chopped green onions (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon

Salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips or an assortment of sliced vegetables for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the dip.

    Create the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

      Incorporate the Cheeses: Gradually stir in the shredded Pepper Jack cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully integrated into the creamy base.

        Add Chicken and Flavorings: Next, fold in the shredded chicken, ranch seasoning mix, diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon. Stir everything together gently to ensure an even distribution of ingredients throughout the mixture.

          Taste and Season: Before baking, taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings. Add salt and pepper as needed, and if you prefer a spicier dip, include more jalapeños.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish, ideally one that measures 8x8 inches.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Look for the dip to be bubbly and slightly golden on the surface for the best results.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. For an appealing finish, garnish with additional chopped green onions. Serve this delicious dip warm alongside tortilla chips or a vibrant array of sliced vegetables for dipping.
