cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

blue cheese

Feta is often less expensive and offers a tangy flavor.

Smoke a whole chicken or use a rotisserie chicken, shred it to get about 2.5 cups of meat.

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for about an hour.

In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, and half of the shredded cheese.

Sprinkle in about a tablespoon of chicken rub and a tablespoon of garlic jalapeno rub into the mixture.

Mix everything until well combined and transfer it into a sprayed Lodge cast iron dish.

Spread the mixture evenly in the dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Add a little more chicken rub on top of the cheese.

Preheat the Golden's cast iron grill to between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit using Royal Oak lump charcoal.

Place the cast iron dish on the grill and let it cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the cheeses are melted and the dish is infused with smoke.

Remove the dish from the grill and let it cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
