Easy Mexican Chicken Dip

This Chicken Enchilada Dip should come with a warning label! It is dangerously delicious! Every time I make it, people go crazy over it. I took this to a football party a few weeks ago and was gone in a flash! Chicken, cream cheese, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, Mexican cheese blend, cumin, chili powder, garlic, dried oregano, and black pepper. O-M-YUM! SO much amazing flavor! 

While we usually serve this as an appetizer, I could actually eat this dip as my dinner. Bake the dip and serve it in some tortillas with some black beans and rice! SO good! No matter how you serve this, you must make it ASAP. It is my most requested dip recipe for parties and tailgating!
