Chicken Enchilada Dip

Just in time for the Superbowl! Chicken Enchilada Dip is one of those snack foods that you can actually make a meal out of. I served it to the kids one day last week and even Kyrie ate a bunch of it.  She never eats a bunch of anything.

Serve this with fresh hot tortilla chips, crackers, or even celery. If you are really brave cut jalapenos in half, seed them, and use them as scoops for the dip. It really does taste like chicken enchiladas… so good.  You can serve this dip in hollowed out red bell peppers OR you can add more cream to it and serve it as a soup. It is awesome no matter what you do.
