Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip is an easy appetizer that is always a big hit. This dip is best served warm so I usually make it and then transfer into a small slow cooker when I take it to a party so that I can keep it plugged in and keep it warm the whole time. This recipe is my favorite chip dip -all the flavors of a chicken enchilada in a bowl! And of course, anything with cheese is amazing!

What’s the best cheese to use in a chip dip?

You can use regular cheddar cheese in this cheesy dip, but a lot of other types of cheese work well too! Because of the green chiles and taco seasoning in the dip, the flavors work well with Monterey Jack cheese or a fiesta Mexican blend of cheese. Use your favorite shredded cheese or a combination of two or three of your favorites!

What type of chicken is best in this appetizer recipe?

You can use any type of cooked, shredded chicken, but I usually use rotisserie chicken in this recipe because it is so moist, flavorful and easy too!

One of my favorite ways to make shredded chicken is in a slow cooker – all you have to do is place the chicken in a crockpot for about 5-6 hours on low with a can of chicken broth and it will just fall apart when it’s done cooking.

Recently, I have discovered another way to cook and shred chicken by using an Instant Pot! I just place a few chicken tenderloins or 1-2 chicken breasts in my Instant Pot, set it on high pressure for about 7-8 minutes and then just a few minutes later I have perfectly cooked chicken that shreds easily with two forks – I still can’t believe how fast and easy it is!

What do you serve with Cheesy Chicken Enchilada dip?

Tortilla chips are absolutely amazing with this dip – this dip recipe is perfect as a chip dip! Just make sure to use a sturdy chip – Tostitos scoops are one of the best chips for being able to hold a lot of dip!

You can also use other types of crackers like Wheat Thins or Triscuits if you prefer. It would probably taste great with veggies also – carrots, peppers, cherry tomatoes, etc.

You can also use this chicken dip as a filling for enchiladas or burritos or other Mexican recipes. Just wrap the filling in flour or corn tortillas  and sprinkle some cheese on top. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted.

I also love to eat this dip as a chicken filling for lettuce wraps – just place a couple spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into a large piece of Romaine lettuce and fold up like a taco! Low carb and absolutely delicious!
