This 15-minute dip’s got ooey-gooey game! Each bite delivers flavourful, shredded chicken in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce.
Ingredients
½ lb (225 g) boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
3/4 cup crushed tomatoes
2 tsp Marinara Sauce Mix
1 block (8 oz/250 g) light cream cheese (softened)
1 pkg Butter Chicken
1 tbsp oil
Preparation
Dice chicken breasts into small, even pieces. Coat with Marinara.
Heat pan and add 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.
Add chicken in a single layer. Let it sear for 2–3 minutes without stirring, then stir occasionally until all sides are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (about 7–8 minutes total)
Meanwhile, in small casserole dish or 4-cup, microwave-safe bowl, beat cream cheese with crushed tomatoes. Stir in Butter Chicken until combined. Carefully fold in chicken.
Microwave, uncovered, on high 2–3 min, until warm and bubbly, stirring well every 1 min. Or, bake in preheated 375° F oven for 15 min.
Serve warm. This dip is delicious served with warm pitas for dunking.
1 can (15 oz/425 g) crushed tomatoes is about 2 cups. Wrap and freeze leftovers in small portions; add to soups, stews, or sauces. Or, blend with Marinara Sauce Mix and use as a pizza sauce.
