I found this dip on another site. I usually plan ahead and grill extra chicken a day or so ahead. However, the purchased grilled chicken would work just as well. Cooking time does not include preparing the chicken.

This is a great dip for football or any sports season!! Great for the holidays; very, very tasty!!

Provided by Stephanie Dodd @skeen

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound(s) chicken, cooked and shredded
1 - jalapeno pepper, diced
8 ounce(s) bag of shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
8 ounce(s) jar of mayonnaise
4 ounce(s) can of diced green chilies

Steps:

  • Place chicken breast halves on a medium baking sheet (or boil them for 20 minutes). Bake in 350 degree over 20 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from heat; cool and shred. Place shredded chicken in a medium bowl, and mix in cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, green chilies, and jalapeno pepper. Transfer the chicken mixture to a medium baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown. I use canned chicken. I buy the cans at Sam's. I think they come five to a package. It makes this a little easier to prepare. Very, very good!!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Use cooked and shredded chicken for a quick and easy dip. You can boil, bake, or rotisserie the chicken. If you're short on time, store-bought rotisserie chicken is a convenient option.
  • Make a Flavorful Enchilada Sauce: The sauce is the heart of this dip, so use a flavorful enchilada sauce. You can make your own or use a store-bought sauce. If you're using a store-bought sauce, add some spices and herbs to enhance the flavor.
  • Add Variety: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients to add variety to your dip. Try adding different cheeses, vegetables, or spices. You can also top the dip with fresh herbs, sour cream, or guacamole.
  • Control the Spice Level: If you're not a fan of spicy food, use a mild enchilada sauce or reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper. You can always add more spice later if desired.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Dippers: Chicken enchilada dip is traditionally served with tortilla chips, but you can also serve it with other dippers like crackers, pita chips, or vegetable sticks.

Conclusion:

Chicken enchilada dip is a versatile and delicious appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make, can be tailored to your own taste preferences, and is perfect for parties or potlucks. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this dip is sure to be a hit.
