Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, crisped and chopped
  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup plant-based shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Crisp the smoked turkey bacon in a pan until golden, then chop into small pieces. These provide the meaty base of the dip.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In the crock pot, mix the plant-based cream cheese, plant-based shredded cheese, plant-based Greek yogurt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Chicken and Bacon: Fold the shredded chicken and smoked turkey bacon evenly into the cheese mixture, ensuring flavors are well distributed throughout.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Set the crock pot to low heat and cook the dip for 2 to 3 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking to maintain a smooth, creamy texture and prevent sticking.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: When hot, gooey, and bubbly, turn off the crock pot. Serve with your choice of chips, veggies, or toasted bread and enjoy this irresistible appetizer.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken for convenience and time-saving.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent scorching and keep the dip smooth.
  • Adjust the spiciness gradually by adding hot sauce in small increments and tasting as you go.
  • Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and the texture to thicken slightly.
  • Choose high-quality plant-based cheeses for better meltability and creaminess.
