Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chicken Enchilada Dip warm with carrot sticks, celery stalks, bell pepper strips or other fresh Vegetables. It also works well as an Appetizer or warm party dip. Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley just before serving.Recipe Notes
Use softened cream cheese so it blends smoothly with the mayonnaise and sour cream. The chicken should already be fully cooked before it is added to the dip. Seed the jalapeño for moderate heat or leave some seeds in if you prefer a spicier result.Variations
Extra jalapeño or green chillies can be added for more heat. Fresh coriander makes a particularly good garnish and strengthens the Mexican flavours. Serve with vegetable sticks to keep the dish suitable for a Low Carb meal.Storage Advice
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat only the amount required until thoroughly hot. The dip can be reheated in the Airfryer or microwave.Wine Advice
A fresh Sauvignon Blanc works well with the jalapeño, green chillies and creamy cheese. A dry Riesling is another suitable choice, particularly if you make the dip a little hotter.Nutrition values
