Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup Hatch green chiles, diced (fresh or canned)

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Tortilla chips or fresh, sliced vegetables for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no lumps.

      Incorporate Chicken and Chiles: Add the shredded cooked chicken and diced Hatch green chiles to the creamy base. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well distributed.

        Add the Cheesy Goodness: Gently fold in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese along with half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Then, add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined for a perfectly blended dip.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spatula to create a smooth surface.

            Add a Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. This will create a delicious, golden crust as it bakes.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is heated through, bubbly, and golden brown on top.

                Serve It Up: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the dip to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor if desired. Serve warm alongside tortilla chips or an assortment of fresh, crunchy sliced vegetables for dipping.
