Easy Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe perfect for the Super Bowl and parties! Full of flavor with chicken and cheese, and served with tortilla chips for dipping.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Super Bowl is coming up soon. Super Bowl food is right up my alley and this super easy Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe is the perfect party food for the Super Bowl!
The dip only has 6 ingredients: cream cheese, precooked shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, onion, and lime juice. For the chicken you could use leftover chicken or even a rotisserie chicken or boiled chicken. You could also poach some boneless skinless chicken breasts and shred it yourself, which is what I did. For 3 cups of shredded chicken I poached one large boneless skinless chicken breast (about 1 pound raw).
To make the dip all you do is mix all the ingredients (just half the shredded cheese) in bowl and spoon into a shallow baking dish then bake. Top with the rest of the shredded cheese and bake a few more minutes until the cheese is ooey-gooey and melted on top.
To serve the Chicken Enchilada Dip, add your favorite Mexican toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve the dip warm with your favorite tortilla chips.
I swear this dip will be gobbled up in minutes and maybe even seconds. Not that you’ll have any leftovers, but if you do, the dip is fabulous cold too. Hope you enjoy! Enjoy the Super Bowl!
