Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip
This Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip is perfect to serve on game day or any other get together. It is a creamy, hot dip, loaded with cheeses, chicken, and a hit of spicy heat.
Football games always call for lots of snacks. This past weekend there were playoff football games on Saturday and Sunday. One of our favorite go to dips is the Rotel-Velveeta dip, but we were snowed in and I didn’t have any Velveeta.
After scanning through my pantry, I found a packet of Velveeta Cheese Sauce, so a cheesy dip idea started forming.
Here are the ingredients I used as the base of the dip.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream, using an electric mixer. Stir in the Rotel, cheese packet, chicken, and half of the shredded cheese. Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 diced jalapeno.
Spray a 2 quart baking dish with no stick cooking spray. Spread the mixture into dish, top with remaining cheese. Bake @ 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
This dip can be assembled a day ahead of time and baked when you are ready to serve. I used rotisserie chicken that I had in refrigerator. This is so convenient.
Serve the Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip with celery, breads, crackers or corn chips. We love Scoops!
This dip was wonderful reheated the next day also.
