Kitchen Tools

• A 7x11 inch baking dish: If you only have a 9x13 or 9x9 inch baking dish those will work as well. You may need to adjust the bake time to make sure the enchilada dip with chicken is heated all the way through.
• A large bowl
• A fork or spoon to stir with
• A can opener: Trust me, mine broke once and I had to pry the cans open with a knife (no fingers were lost during this incident)
• Serving dish or platter (Optional)

Ingredients

• Cooked Chicken Breasts: To save on time you could use some leftover Grilled Lime Chicken, or a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
• Black Beans: Canned or fresh work fine.
• Corn: Canned, fresh, or frozen corn works fine. If using canned make sure to strain them first.
• Shredded Cheese
• Cream Cheese
• Diced Green Chilies
• Enchilada Sauce
• Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning
• Optional Extra Toppers 

How to Make Chicken Enchilada Dip

This easy baked enchilada dip recipe is so simple and ready in just about 40 minutes.

1. First, you will want to combine all your enchilada dip ingredients into a large bowl and mash and stir to combine. Personally, I like to has my cream cheese softened because it makes combining this dip so much easier.
2. Once the enchilada dip is mixed add it to a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes until bubbling.
3. An extra step you can take is adding additional shredded cheese to the top of the enchilada dip after 25 minutes in the oven. Bake for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted. You can skip this step if you wish, but I love the extra cheesiness.
4. Finally, serve your baked chicken enchilada dip warm with additional toppings.

Serving Suggestions 

I absolutely love this baked Mexican dip with chicken on its own with some tortilla chips, but if you want to take it up a notch here are some of my favorite extras.

• Avocado
• Salsa
• Sour Cream (or Plain Greek Yogurt)
• Fresh Cilantro
• Lime Juice
• Diced Tomatoes

If you are making this enchilada dip with chicken recipe for a party or holiday I would suggest leaving the additional toppings on the side so that each individual can customize the dip to their liking. Of course if you know what you like then go ahead and pile everything on top!

Additional Ideas

Make the Dip a Meal: This Mexican style dip is very similar to my Chicken Enchilada Puffs recipe filling. You can swap this dip for the filling and utilize the leftover enchilada dip to make a wonderful dinner the following night.

Pinwheel Option: Instead of serving the dip with tortilla chips you can spread it into large burrito size tortillas and create pinwheels. Just be sure not to overfill them or they will seep out the sides and not hold together well.
