Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I use roasted chicken)
  • 3 jalapeño peppers (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese ( at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus a little more for garnish)
  • 5 pieces of uncured bacon (raw and chopped into small pieces)
  • 1/4 cup onion (diced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Cook the bacon over medium heat in a pot until crisp.  Remove the bacon and most of the grease, leaving behind about a tablespoon.  Sauté the onion and jalapeño peppers for a few minutes.
  • Add in the chili seasoning and allow to toast for about 10 seconds, while stirring.  Add in the chicken stock, chicken, most of the bacon (reserve a little for garnish) and the heavy cream.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, uncovered.  Add in the shredded cheddar, mascarpone and cream cheese and stir until melted.
  • Serve with a healthy garnish of cheddar cheese, bacon and chopped jalapeño peppers.
