Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2 cups chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or light olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Juice of 2 small limes (about 1 1/2 tbsp)
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Guacamole:

  • 2 avocados
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (or to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • Sea salt to taste

Chipotle Ranch:

  • 1 cup homemade mayo
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried chives
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup compliant salsa
  • 1/3 cup shredded Brussels sprouts (or lettuce or cabbage)
  • 2-3 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced
  • Additional cilantro for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Seasoning: In a medium bowl, whisk together avocado oil, sea salt, lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and cumin until fully blended to form a flavorful marinade.
  2. Combine Chicken and Marinade: Toss the cooked and shredded chicken breasts in the prepared marinade until evenly coated, allowing the spices to infuse the meat.
  3. Make the Guacamole: In another bowl, mash the avocados and mix in minced onion, garlic, jalapeño, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and sea salt to taste until creamy and well combined.
  4. Prepare the Chipotle Ranch: Whisk together homemade mayo, fresh lime or lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, dried chives, chipotle powder, and paprika in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the Dip Layers: In an 8 x 8 inch dish or similar sized container, layer the dip starting with guacamole, then the seasoned shredded chicken, followed by chipotle ranch, salsa, shredded Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced jalapeños, and garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve: Serve the dip immediately alongside fresh cut vegetables, sweet potato fries, or tostones for dipping.
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the chicken marinade and guacamole.
  • Adjust the number of jalapeños according to your desired spice level.
  • You can substitute shredded lettuce or cabbage for Brussels sprouts if preferred.
  • Homemade mayo ensures the dip stays paleo compliant—store-bought should be checked for additives.
  • This dip pairs excellently with paleo-friendly dippers like fresh veggies or sweet potato fries.
