  • 6 oz shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 3 oz diced yellow onion
  • 4 jalapeños, sliced (about 3 oz total)
  • 7 oz Philadelphia Jalapeño cream cheese

  • Fresh green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded Mexican blend cheese, sautéed onion and jalapeños, Philadelphia Jalapeño cream cheese, chili powder, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix until thoroughly combined (ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing).

  5. Sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces over the top of the mixture in the casserole dish.
  6. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy! For an extra kick, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
