Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 4 ounces Diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and red enchilada sauce. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Stir in the shredded chicken, diced green chiles, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (8x8 inch works well). Spread it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling and the cheese has melted and is slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
