Ingredients  

  • 1 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 tbsp BBQ rub
  • 8 slices bacon crumbled
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese hand-shredded
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 egga beaten
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Season chicken with BBQ rub and let stand for 15 minutes
  • Cook bacon over medium heat. Remove, crumble, and drain excess grease.
  • Cook chicken in the reserved bacon grease, cooking 6-8 minutes per side. Rest for 5 minutes, then chop into pieces.
  • In a small cast iron pan, combine chicken, bacon, cream cheese, 1½ cups cheddar, ranch dressing, and green onions. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Smoke the dip at 350F for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  • Serve warm with dippers of choice.

Notes

  • Cook the chicken in the bacon grease. This is a great way to add extra flavor to the chicken.
  • Grate your own cheese. Try to grate your cheese instead of using the pre-shredded kind. It tastes much fresher and melts much better.
