Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip

Key to Success #1 – Cut the Chicken Into Bite-Sized Pieces

Instead of shredding the chicken, we’re cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

This will ensure that the dip has a bit of texture to it and it’s not just mushy.

After the chicken breasts have been cooked, use a sharp knife to cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Or use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the chicken.

If the chicken is still hot, you may need to wear a pair of rubber gloves to protect your fingers from the heat while cutting it up.

Cutting the chicken instead of shredding it is really a game-changer in this easy dip recipe.

Key to Success #2 – Soften the Cream Cheese

This easy dip starts by mixing together cream cheese and Greek yogurt.

To ensure that the ingredients can be mixed smoothly, it’s important to make sure the cream cheese is softened before you begin mixing.

The best way to soften cream cheese is to allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour.

If you’re short on time, you can speed things up by microwaving the unwrapped cream cheese for 20 seconds on HIGH power.

Use a hand mixer to blend together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and spices.

Next, add in the red enchilada sauce and mix on low speed until fully combined.

Finally, fold in the beans, corn, tomatoes, chicken, and 1 cup of cheese using a spoon or a spatula.

You definitely don’t want to use the mixer for this step or all your ingredients will get smushed together.

Spread the dip into a casserole dish then top with additional cheese.

Key to Success #3 – Bake Until Bubbly

Top the Chicken Enchilada Dip with a layer of cheese then pop it into the oven to bake.

Leave the baking dish uncovered so that the cheese will brown while the dip is heating.

Once the dip comes out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.

Serve this delicious dip with tortilla chips, Fritos Scoops, or even crunchy veggies.

You can also heat up this dip in a Crock Pot. Heat on low heat for 2-4 hours.

This hearty dip will be a favorite for years to come!
