Scoop up this creamy chicken poblano cheese dip with tortilla chips or your favorite fresh veggies, or use it as a filling for halved baby peppers for a game-day appetizer. We like it chilled, but if you want a warm dip, spread it into a shallow baking dish and heat it in a 350°F oven for 12 minutes with a sprinkling of Cheddar cheese on top.

Ingredients

1 medium poblano pepper
1 8-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
Sliced scallions and/or chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

Position rack 2 to 3 inches from heat source; preheat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place poblano on the prepared baking sheet; broil, turning the pepper every 3 to 4 minutes, until blistered and completely charred on the outside, 10 to 12 minutes. Place the roasted pepper in a plastic bag and seal it (or put it in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap); let it sweat for at least 10 minutes. Peel the pepper; discard skin, stem and seeds. Coarsely chop the pepper.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
