Philadelphia Cream Cheese Chicken Salad Recipes

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Set your cream cheese out to soften. Place in large bowl and whip up with a fork.
• 2. Add the chicken paste to softend cream cheese. Mix well.
• 3. Add chicken to cream cheese and the chicken will shred up as you mix but for a lettuce cup don't add chicken and over mix, you want it chunky not flaked..
• 4. Add the diced eggs.
• 5. Add pepper and mix all together. Chill for at least an hour so the cream cheese can firm up. If too stiff add the mayo. Sandwich spread usually needs the mayo.
• 6. Like I stated in my note you can use this as a dip for crackers, a sandwich spread, a salad in tomatoes, or dress it up for a chicken salad lettuce cup.
