The Ultimate Bacon & Hot Honey Chicken Pretzel Dip
The ultimate party dip! Creamy hot honey chicken and bacon topped with a buttery, crunchy pretzel crust. Bake until gooey.
Ingredients
The Crispy Bits:
- 6-8 slices Bacon, thick-cut is best, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 4 Green onions, sliced (separate whites and greens)
The Creamy Base:
- 2 cups Shredded chicken
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella, divided
- ¼ cup Hot sauce, buffalo works
- 3 tbsp Hot honey
The Topping:
- ½ cup Pretzels, crushed into coarse crumbs
- 2 tbsp Melted butter
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- Crisp the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the diced bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Keep about 1 tbsp of the bacon fat in the pan.
- Sauté the Veggies: In that same pan with the bacon fat, sauté the red bell pepper and the whites of the green onions for 4 minutes until tender.
- The Mix: In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese, greek yogurt, hot sauce, and hot honey. Fold in the chicken, the sautéed peppers/onions, half of the crispy bacon, and 1 cup of the mozzarella.
- Assemble: Spread into your baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and the rest of the crispy bacon bits.
- Pretzel Crust: Mix the crushed pretzels with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake: Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until golden and gooey. Top with greens of the green onion.
