One of Jay's Phlippen staples. This rich, tangy, layered dip is built for a party or the big game: cream cheese on the bottom, a garlicky blue cheese layer in the middle and Phlippens Jerk chicken on top, all baked until bubbling. Put it out with chips and naan and stand back.
Prep: 10m | Cook: 25m | Heat: Medium (Phlippens Jerk)
Ingredients:
- 1½ blocks (375 g) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup blue cheese dressing
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
- Phlippens Jerk to taste (start with ¼ cup)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or a cheddar blend)
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
- Tortilla chips and naan bread, for serving
The Gear:
- Oven-safe baking dish
- Two mixing bowls
- Spatula
- Your oven
Instructions:
- The Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F.
- The Creamy Layer: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, blue cheese dressing and minced garlic.
- The Jerk Chicken: In another bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Phlippens Jerk to taste.
- The Layers: Spread the softened cream cheese across the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Top with the yogurt and blue cheese mix, then the jerk chicken, then the shredded cheese.
- The Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges.
- The Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve with tortilla chips and naan bread.
Phlippen Tip: Let the cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes before you start. Soft cream cheese spreads in one smooth layer instead of tearing up.
Pro-Tips & Pairings:
- Game Day Move: Use a rotisserie chicken and this comes together in minutes.
- Drink This: A cold lager or a pale ale. Something easy for a long game.
