Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1 7-oz can chopped green chiles
  • 1 oz taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 8 oz Mexican blend cheese shredded, divided
  • optional add-ins 1 small onion, diced; 1/4 cup jalapeños, diced; 1/2 cup white beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray or grease a baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, green chile enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles, taco seasoning, chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions.
  • Stir the mixture until mostly smooth and evenly combined; small lumps of cream cheese are fine.
  • Fold in all but 1/4 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese, reserving that amount to sprinkle on top.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted.
  • If using optional add-ins, sprinkle the diced onion, diced jalapeños, and drained white beans on top after baking, then serve with chips.
