Becky’s Tips
- Soften the cream cheese before using it so that it mixes well with the shredded chicken. I like to take it out of the fridge an hour before I want to use it.
- I prefer the flavor and texture of full-fat cream cheese, but the recipe will work well with low-fat if you prefer.
- Serve this dip warm.
