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.

How to Make Chicken Enchilada Dip:

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.

I got a good chuckle over this…particularly the part about kicking someone in the shins and running away when they start quizzing you. Good plan! 🙂
Chipotle Tabasco is a favorite in our house and I can only imagine how good it is in this recipe.

Chipotle Tabasco is the BEST! Love that stuff! I’m bookmarking this so I make it for the next party I go to. I know it will be a hit. (Or…it might be dinner this week. haha)
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
I LOVE me some chicken enchiladas…and in a dipable form? I want to live inside this dip! Pinned!
Marly says
Hmm. It seems only sports can drive a man to tears! 😉 I’m going to try this dip in a veggie way by subbing the chicken. I love the chipotle flavored Tabasco so this recipe is right up my alley!

Nicole ~ Cooking for Keeps says
Eh, I’d take this dip and skip the football for sure! I’m much more into the food, than the actual game. 😉
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I am a total sucker for dips. This looks so cheesy and fabulous Karly – definite cool points award here 🙂
Heather @ My Overflowing Cup says
I’m so sorry you lost your Bears, but I’m sure this dip made up for it. It looks delish! Pinning it now. Thanks so much. I am a huge baseball fan, and when I moved out of state, I lost the ability to follow my favorite team, so I understand. This dip would have made me feel so much better back then. 🙂
A Young Wife says
This looks so yummy! What a great dip for a game or just eating anytime all the time.
Kimberlee says
Sounds delicious! Your hubs will get to see the Bears on Monday Night Football this week! Might make this for our family party on Sunday and hope for leftovers for Monday. Go Bears!
Bailie @ The Hemborg Wife says
This happened to my dad last year and my mom spent hours and hours trying to find a way for him to watch his games and he ended up listening to it on the radio. My husband however lives a country away from his favorite team so streams the games online in a foreign language and drives me batty!
