Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip!

Submitted by AnnieLynne

"The taste of enchiladas in a creamy, cheesy dip! I'm still not quite sure how the bf and I came up with it, but it started with a craving and ended with us dragging everything out of the pantry to try to find something to appease us! Can be made in the microwave or crockpot. Great use for leftover chicken!"
