Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and enchilada sauce. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced green chilies, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Fold in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or any similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
