Preparation

Step 1

Warm, creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor, I guarantee no one will ever suspect this better-for-you dip is “light” in any way. The inclusion of both chicken and beans adds plenty of heft while reduced fat dairy products stealthily curb excess fat and calories.

Better yet, with cooked chicken on hand, this dip takes just 10 minutes to make – from start to finish! Your last minute guests will undoubtedly be impressed. Serve it with tortilla chips or and/or crunchy veggies like baby carrots or festive thick strips of red and green pepper.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream and taco sauce, stirring well with a whisk or fork to combine. Add chicken, red pepper, and 2 tablespoons green onion, and stir gently to combine. Spread the chicken mixture on top of beans and top with cheddar cheese. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Garnish with tomato, cilantro and remaining tablespoon of green onions.
