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.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your enchilada dip the best flavor. This is especially important for the chicken, cheese, and salsa.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in enchilada dip. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella is a good option.
Add some spice: Enchilada dip is typically a spicy dish. If you like it mild, you can omit the chili powder or reduce the amount. If you like it spicy, you can add more chili powder or use a hotter salsa.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Enchilada dip is delicious served with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, Pico de gallo, and diced avocado.

Chicken enchilada dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give chicken enchilada dip a try.
