What is Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip?

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip is an easy to make dip that’s so easy to make. You simply use rotisserie chicken that’s already cooked, along with prepared alfredo sauce. Although this dip is so simply, the flavor is pretty complex and people will ask you for the recipe all day long.

Variations on Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip:

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip doesn’t have to be a dip at all. It can be turned into a meal quite easily.

How to store Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip

If there happens to be any keto chicken Alfredo dip left over, then simply cover the dip and store it in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. I suggest using the microwave to reheat it, or you can reheat it in the oven again too, if desired.

Tips for making Creamy Chicken Enchilada Dip

Chop the rotisserie chicken meat while the chicken is still warm, which will make it easier to cut or tear apart.

When adding the accompaniments on top of the dip, set them up in a pretty way. Plus, leave some of the dip uncovered by garnishes for picky eaters.

Try some other cheese variations for toppings like a smoked cheddar or smoked Gouda for unique depth of flavor. Or, for a more intense spicy flavor, try it topped with pepper jack cheese.

Keep in mind that this dip tends to be quite filling, especially when you’re on the keto diet. It’s so filling that sometimes it’s all that I can eat and it ends up being my meal.

When buying prepared Alfredo sauce, look for brands that are kept in the refrigerated section. The ingredients used in the refrigerated versions are fresher and taste more authentic. My favorite brand is Rana, and I also like O’ Sole Mio and Buitoni.
