This is not your average chicken dip! Creamy, cheesy, smoky, BACON-LOADED goodness with jalapeños, ranch, chicken, & warm soft pretzel bites. Cooked low and slow on a Traeger, it's perfect for dipping, burgers, quesadillas, or grilled cheese.
1. Mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
2. Stir in jalapeños, sweet peppers, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chives.
3. Fold in shredded chicken, bacon, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
4. Spray a 9-inch cast iron skillet with nonstick spray. Spread mixture evenly.
5. Preheat Traeger to 275°F. Cook directly on grill grates for approximately 90 minutes until bubbling and the center reaches 165°F.
6. During the final few minutes, arrange pretzel bites around the edges. Top dip with extra cheese and cook until melted and pretzels are warmed through.
7. Rest 5 minutes and DIG IN!
