This is SO good. I have used store bought rotisserie chicken to make it. I don't have a mixer so I have used whipped cream cheese instead of mixing at home. When I take this to parties I like to to wait to put the sauce on once I have gotten to the destination, the container from the whipped cream cheese makes a great vessel to transport the sauce!

Delicious! Five stars for taste but we found it too messy to eat as a dip. This would be the perfect filling for small egg rolls or maybe even a pizza topping. Yum!

Made this for a work event and it went really quickly. This one's a keeper !

This recipe had great flavor. I especially enjoyed the peanuts. I used canned chicken and didn't drain it well enough, which resulted in the dip becoming watery.
