When I first learned about this recipe I was off on a little cabin getaway with friends.  We packed and prepared so much yummy food but one thing that I could not get enough of was this Green Chile Chicken Dip.  It was soooo good!!  My friend who made it said I would laugh at how easy it was to make and she was right.  There is no reason that this dip should not be on every table this holiday season for a great appetizer  because it is so easy to make and YUMMY.  

Green Chile Chicken Dip Recipe

I am just going to say it – make a double batch because to be honest, it is even better reheated.  Before making this dip, make sure you get some hearty chips and crackers and yummy veggies like carrots or celery.  I say hearty chips and crackers because this Green Chile Chicken Dip is thick and no one likes breaking their “dippers” in the dip!!  

Preparing This Delicious Green Chile Chicken Dip

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken – shredded 
1 cup mayo
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 small can Green Chiles 
1 small can jalapenos
Crackers, chips or veggies for dipping  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray. 

2. Cook and shred chicken.  Set aside.  

3. In a medium mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese and mayo until completely mixed together.  

4. Drain jalapenos and Green Chiles.  Add jalapenos and Green Chiles to the mayo and cream cheese mixture.  Combine well.  

5. Add shredded chicken to bowl and combine well.  Making sure the chicken is coated with the cheese and mayo mixture.  

6. Move mixture to a 9×9 baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Another Version of Green Chile Chicken Dip:

Seriously, so easy right?  And can you just taste it??  Cheesy goodness on your favorite cracker, chip or veggie!  Now, if you are making this for a group with kiddos, it might be smart to leave out the jalapenos, because those little things sure do kick up the heat quick in this dip.  But now for a little extra recipe you might want to give a try. 

This dip was actually not a dip at first.  My friend will also make this recipe without the shredded chicken and place the mixture over chicken breasts and bake in the oven for a yummy Cheesy Green Chile Chicken Bake.  No matter how you decided to enjoy these flavor combinations you will find it deliciously dangerous and seconds…thirds and maybe fourths will be requested!!
