Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip

January 11, 2018 by Mirlandra 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This simple Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip takes a classic dinner and makes it into the perfect appetizer for game day or your next party. Minimal ingredients and great flavor make this recipe a party regular!

 

 

A square white ceramic baking dish is full of cheesy, creamy chicken enchilada dip. A hand holding a chip is in the act of scooping up dip and you can see cheese strings pulling up away from the hot cheese top.

Last summer I was making chicken enchiladas when my sister-in-law suggested that the filling would make great dip!  Rachel was right, of course, and I ended up adding a few more creamy ingredients to make this creamy chicken enchilada dip.

Our household is comprised of Mexican food lovers and taking a favorite dinner and turning it into dip has been a big hit.  I make it for parties of course but also for dinner!  Sometimes the hassle of stuffing all the enchiladas just annoys me and this dip means everybody can just dip their own chips or stuff a tortilla at the table.

If I do serve it for dinner, I usually put out a salad or Mexican rice and some veggies like tomatoes and olives.

    Wow! This was so easy, rich, delicious and creamy. Definitely recommend mixing cream cheese and sour cream first till it’s smooth then adding everything else ( I didn’t and had lumps of cream cheese, even though I thought I mixed it well).
    Lots of compliments and even the toddler had some!
