Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s preferred)
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 (8 ounce) tubs garlic hummus or spicy hummus
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Garnishes

1/4 cup chopped scallions
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, sliced

For Serving

Cucumber slices
Carrot spears
Tortilla chips
Plantain chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350ºF to warm up while you prepare the dip mixture, ensuring a perfectly baked dish.
Mix the chicken and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the hot sauce and cracked black pepper. Stir until well mixed and the chicken is evenly coated with the spicy sauce.
Add hummus to the mix: Incorporate the garlic or spicy hummus into the chicken mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a creamy, spicy base for the dip.
Assemble the dip: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture to ensure a cheesy crust when baked.
Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown on top.
Add garnishes and serve: Remove from the oven and top with chopped scallions, diced tomato, and sliced avocado for freshness and color. Serve the dip warm alongside cucumber slices, carrot spears, tortilla chips, and plantain chips for dipping.

Adjust hot sauce amount to your spice preference.
Garlic hummus adds extra flavor; spicy hummus will increase heat.
