Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes
1-1/2 cups frozen pepper strips
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced

1 cup salsa con queso dip
2 tablespoons canned chopped green chilies

Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15 minutes or until tender, turning once.
In a large skillet, saute pepper strips and onion in butter until crisp tender. Stir in the chicken strips, queso dip, chilies, and chipotle pepper. Heat through.
