Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 12 ounces finely chopped Yellow Onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped Garlic in Oil
  • 6 ounces Flour
  • 1 quart Chicken Consomme
  • 1 1/2 quarts Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • Liquid Smoke to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Chicken Base
  • Tabasco to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground White Pepper
  • 8 ounces grated Romano Cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups Sour Cream
  • 3 1/2 pounds drained Artichoke Hearts diced
  • 3 pounds frozen chopped Spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 pounds poached Chicken diced
  • Sour Cream for garnish
  • Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese for garnish
  • Cheddar Cheese for garnish
  • Salsa for serving
  • Tortilla Chips for serving

Instructions

  • Place butter in a medium pan. Melt over medium heat.
  • When butter is melted, stir in oil, onions and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in flour a little at a time, stirring well.
  • Add consomme, cream, lemon juice, liquid smoke, chicken base, Tabasco, sugar, white pepper, Romano cheese and 1 1/2 cups sour cream. Whisk to combine.
  • Store, covered, in the refrigerator, until chilled.
  • Add artichokes, spinach and chicken. Gently stir to combine well.

To Serve

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Spoon 10 ounces or so of mixture into a crock or oven-safe serving bowl.
  • Top with 1 tablespoon or so Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
  • Repeat with remaining mixture and cheeses into more crocks. (Alternately, just make one large bowl with as much cheese as you want on top.)
  • Right before serving, place all crocks (or just the ones to be served immediately) and heat 2 1/2 minutes or until dip is warm and cheese on top is melted.
  • Place crocks on platters with chips and small bowls of salsa.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream on top of dip.
  • Repeat with remaining crocks as needed.
