Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with shredded chicken, pinto beans, green chiles, and plenty of enchilada sauce, this easy dip is made for scooping with tortilla chips and sharing around the coffee table. It’s warm, hearty, and just the kind of recipe you want when you’re having friends over for the game.

Chicken Enchilada Dip

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 (8-oz.) blocks Neufchâtel cheese (12 oz. total), softened
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (15-oz.) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning

Optional Toppings:

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Fresh pico de gallo
  • Crumbled Cotija cheese
  • Sliced green onions

For Serving:

  • Tortilla chips
  • Fresh veggies

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish or a small rectangular baking dish.
  2. Add the softened Neufchâtel cheese, enchilada sauce, green chiles, and taco seasoning to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater. Mix on low speed until creamy and combined.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, pinto beans, and 2 cups of the Mexican blend cheese. Mix on speed 2 for about 20–30 seconds, just until everything is evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix so the chicken and beans retain some texture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is completely melted. For a little extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  6. Top with fresh cilantro, pico de gallo, Cotija cheese, and green onions, if desired.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips and fresh veggies. Enjoy!
