Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, black olives, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine the enchilada sauce, green chiles, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in the slow cooker insert. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Stir in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or on HIGH for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring halfway through.
  4. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl if necessary, or keep it warm in the slow cooker on the WARM setting.
  6. Top with your desired optional toppings before serving hot with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a White Chicken Enchilada Dip variation, substitute the red enchilada sauce with 10 ounces of mild green enchilada sauce.
  • If you do not have cooked chicken, you can place 2 raw chicken breasts in the slow cooker with 1/2 cup of water and cook on LOW for 4 hours, then shred the chicken before mixing with other ingredients.
  • This dip freezes well before the final cheese addition. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and proceed with the final melting step.
