Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip
We’re sharing a fabulous 5-ingredient Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip today. You won’t even miss the carbs, fat, and unnecessary calories!
Super Bowl is right around the corner. If we’re honest with ourselves, most of us are just as excited about the party snacks as we are about the game!
Yet, if you’ve worked hard all month to stick to a healthy low carb diet, you are probably a little nervous about Super Bowl. Who wants to blow a month’s worth of results on cheap take-out pizza and potato chips!?
Not me.
I find if I make a little effort to plan lightened-up low carb snacks, it’s much easier to avoid the junk food.
Today’s Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip is a party snack that tastes devilishly decadent, but is actually high protein, low carb, low(er) in fat, and gluten free.
It’s rich and cheesy with a zesty note from Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce. When you dip down into this hot creamy dish, you’ll scoop up refried beans, chunks of chicken, and an ultra silky spiced cheese sauce!
You can serve Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip with tortilla chips if you like. Yet if you serve it with baked vegetable chips or raw cut vegetables, it’s just as wonderful, and you will refrain from a lot of heavy carbs and calories.
I made this Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip with only 5 simple ingredients you can find at Target: Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans, Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce, Market Pantry Light Cream Cheese, Market Pantry Reduced Fat Mexican-Style Shredded Cheese, and cooked chicken.
You can use up leftover chicken in the dip, or buy fully cooked Archer Farms Chicken Strips to chop up for the Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip.

Skinny Chicken Enchilada Dip is so rich and comforting, your friends and family will lick the dish clean. My boys were absolutely nuts over it, and had no idea I had reduced the carbs, fat, and calories.
That’s a win in my book!
