Can you believe it’s less than two weeks until Christmas!! I don’t know about you, but I still have so much to do. My shopping has barely even started, I still have a ton more cookies I want to make, and I have more Christmas movies to watch than days to watch them in. The one thing I have completed is the recipe for the perfect dip to serve and that dip is this incredibly addicting Skinny Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip.

Skinny Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip | Creamy, cheesy, enchilada dip that's so good you'll want to eat it all! | @reciperunnerAre you like me and starting in November you begin to think about the holidays and how you are going to be more organized and get things done early so that when the week of Christmas arrives you can sit back with your cup of hot chocolate, your favorite Christmas movie on, and finish wrapping the last few presents?

Yep, I tell myself this every year, and guess what? It never happens!!! I seriously can’t figure out why I can’t get it all done ahead of time. Instead I find myself out finishing last minute shopping, fighting crowds and traffic, and being downright miserable about the whole thing. Then the big day comes and don’t get me wrong it’s a wonderful day, but before you know it, it’s over. Then I sit there wondering why I stressed myself out so much and how I’m going to do it different next year.

I dream about it every December and have yet to do it, so this is the year. Instead of sharing Instagram pictures of packed stores and parking lots you’re going to see pictures of baked cookies, my favorite Christmas movies,  presents all wrapped under the tree, and hopefully some snow if I’m lucky!

Holy cow you guys, you have got to make this! I’m pretty sure I could have eaten all of it by myself! You know what the great thing about this Mexican inspired dip is? It’s healthier than your average dip.

Instead of sour cream and full fat cream cheese, I replaced them with low fat cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. While there is a fair amount of cheese in this dip, it’s still far less than what you’ll find in some. Serve this dip with your favorite tortilla chip, cracker, or even some veggies. If by some strange reason there are leftovers of the Skinny Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip, they just happen to make a terrific filling for enchiladas or burritos!
