  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your dip bakes evenly and gets that deliciously golden top.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken and diced green chiles (with their juices) into the creamy mixture. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top for that cheesy crust.
  5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  6. Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with chopped fresh cilantro before serving with tortilla chips. Enjoy every cheesy bite!
