How to Make Enchilada Dip with Chicken
I love an easy appetizer, and this dip fits the bill! Here’s how to make it:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add the cream cheese and enchilada sauce to a large oven-proof skillet and heat over medium heat. Next, cook until the cream cheese has completely melted and is well blended, stirring often.
Add the shredded chicken, half of the Pepper Jack cheese, diced green chiles, and half of the diced jalapeno. Stir until the cheese melts completely and everything is well combined, then remove from heat.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the dip and evenly distribute the remaining jalapeno pieces over the cheese.
Finally, place the skillet into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. NOTE: The handle will be HOT, so be sure to use an oven mitt to remove it from the oven.
