If your household is like any of the others that have enjoyed this dip, I can tell you that it will disappear in minutes. It's quite substantial, so it needs a good, thick chip or melba toast for scooping-pass on the thin potato chips for this one. Or, you know, a spoon dipped straight into the pan works, too. I'm not judging!

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

vegetable oil, for greasing
1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, diced)
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1 -4 jalapeno, minced
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 slices bacon
1/4 cup chopped scallion, for garnish
celery rib, for serving
celery rib, baby carrots, bell pepper strips, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, for serving
tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Grease a 7 1/2-inch barrel cake pan (see Note) with oil.
  • 2. In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, bell pepper, jalapeños, cream cheese, Mexican cheese blend, chili powder, garlic salt, and salt until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
  • 3. Cut each bacon slice into three or four pieces. Arrange the bacon in a circle on top of the chicken mixture. Place the pan in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is cooked through.
  • 4. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with vegetables and/or tortilla chips for dipping.
  • NOTE: This recipe was written to be made in an extra-deep 7 1/2-inch round pan called a barrel pan or cake barrel, which is sold as an accessory for air fryers with a capacity of 5.3 quarts or more. If your fryer is smaller than that, use a 6-inch round cake pan with 4-inch sides and increase the cooking time by 5 to 8 minutes.
