01 -

That creamy spicy combo keeps you satisfied for hours without any heavy carbs weighing you down
It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something you labored over

02 -

Roasting your jalapenos first completely transforms this into something restaurant worthy
The cream cheese absolutely must be room temperature or you will end up with lumpy sadness

03 -

Pat your diced chicken dry with paper towels before mixing it keeps everything from getting watery
Fry your bacon until its extra crispy since it will soften slightly in the salad
