Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 12 jalapenos, diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dish.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, raspberry jam, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a baking dish, ensuring a flat layer. Then, generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the mixture to cover it completely.

  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle and make it easier to serve.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeno quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a smoother mixture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
