Fresh or Canned Chicken? 

I think having a pressure cooker makes having shredded chicken really easy and convenient. If you do not have one, I have a Ninja All in One and its the best to make fast, fresh chicken. At the time of writing this post, the Foodie is as inexpensive as I have ever seen it. Check out current pricing here. As shown in the original post, I used simple pan fried chicken with a little browning, but you could also just as easily use drained canned chicken in a pinch. 

How to make Hot Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip 

• Preheat oven to 350 and grease a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Add chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, 1 cups shredded cheese and un-drained green chilies to a mixing bowl and mix well.

 

Bake the Chicken Enchilada Dip

• Spoon into prepared dish and spread evenly.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are bubbly and center is hot.

 

 

Serving up Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip

• Top with chopped fresh cilantro before serving with chips.
• Add more heat or spice by topping with fresh chopped jalapenos.
• Tomatoes, Guacamole and Black Olives all make a delicious sassy and filling dip
• Try with Rotel! 

 

Large Crowd Dip Variation

The other day I decided to make this dip for dinner and altered my original recipe to make it in a very large casserole dish. This is the recipe I used and is slightly altered from my original recipe. 

• 4 large chicken breasts, cooked in pressure cooker and shredded
• 3 bricks, 8 oz, cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1-1/2 cups shredded cheese,  Mexican 4 cheese

Combined, spread in casserole dish, smothered with more cheese till top was covered, cooked for same time as recipe above.
