Move over, chips & salsa! This chicken enchilada dip is next level delicious, loaded with creamy cheeses, tender chicken, and all the enchilada flavors we love!
If you’ve been around here for long, you know that we love dip at Buns In My Oven!
Whether we’re talking about my 4 ingredient Rotel Dip, creamy queso dip, my famous refried bean dip, or even pickle dip…I’ve got you covered. Dips are my life, basically.
This time around we’re combining my love of enchiladas (recommended: ground beef enchiladas) with my love of dips and we ended up with the ultimate creamy, cheesy concoction that no one can resist.
Chicken Enchilada Dip Ingredients:
Base – Cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack all make for an ultra creamy dip.
Mix-In’s – Cooked chicken, sweet corn, green chiles, and chives all get mixed right in.
Sauce – Enchilada sauce and Tabasco sauce.
Seasoning – We’re mixing in cilantro, cumin, and salt to add extra flavor.
Tortilla Chips – You’re going to need something to dip and we like tortilla chips. Mini sweet peppers are also good, if you want to cut carbs.

About that chicken…
- You’ll want pre-cooked chicken for this recipe.
- Leftover cooked chicken is great, or grab a rotisserie chicken and shred it up.
- We always keep a bag of this crockpot shredded chicken in the freezer – it’s perfect here.

My son would love this. He’s a Tabasco addict. I have to keep the big bottle in the house and he goes through it like mad.

When I moved a few hours away from Pittsburgh a few years ago, I was on the PA-MD border, which meant I kept getting Ravens games and not Steelers. I was SO bummed! Now that I moved back, I’ll be more than happy to shove this dip in my face while cheering on my team.

We actually got rid of cable one year and so my husband didn’t get to see most of his football games… it was a very sad year.
LOVE this dip though!!
