Chicken Enchilada Dip
Chicken Enchilada Dip is a mix of all my favorite flavors: cheese, chicken, beans, cream cheese, enchilada sauce, and more. This is the perfect dip for any party!
When I’m left to my own devices, I’ll choose cheese for dinner EVERY night. It’s part of the reason I waited so long to learn how to cook. Instead of making a whole meal for myself, I preferred to just eat whatever was easy and tasted good. Cheese dip is an acceptable meal, right? While you might not eat this cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe for dinner like I did, you will want to eat this for an appetizer or serve it at your next party.
This is the original Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe, and it’s inspired my spin-off Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip!

Serving Suggestions
This cheesy, gooey dip is ideal for a batch of crispy homemade tortilla chips or even wonton chips would work to scoop up the cheesy goodness. Serve alongside some fresh veggie sticks and a bowl of creamy guacamole and you’ll be all set!
Hi! My family doesn’t like corn. Do you think it would work if it was omitted?
Sure!
Can I freeze one pie plate of this dip?
While you can freeze this dip, we don’t recommend it, as the cream cheese tends to turn gritty once thawed!
I made this for a party on New Year’s Eve and I have to say that it was the best dish! We even ate this the next couple of days; it makes a lot!
Susan, can I trouble you if you can recall what size Rotel you used? making it for tomorrows SEC championship Game.

Have you ever made it in a crockpot? I’m out of oven space so thinking i could throw it in the crockpot and leave in there for a Super Bowl party.
I haven’t but I think it would work great! I would think a couple hours on low would get it done :)
