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! You might also like this delicious Chicken Alfredo Dip!

Chicken Enchilada Dip, an easy homemade Mexican inspired appetizer or snack. Delicious Super Bowl food! SnappyGourmet.comThe 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.

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!

  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 3 cups shredded precooked boneless chicken
  • 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • Toppings (optional): chopped tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, fresh cilantro
  • tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, enchilada sauce, and lime juice until well combined. Stir in chicken, half of shredded cheese, and onion until well combined. Spoon into large shallow baking dish.

Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: A shallow baking dish such as a pie dish, works best so dip heats through without burning.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of white cheddar, you can substitute your favorite shredded cheese such as a Mexican blend or monterey jack.
