I like to serve this on Ritz Crackers but also makes a good Chicken Salad Melt Sandwich.

3

large bone-in chicken breast halves (Could use left over chicken or rotisserie chicken, as well)
salt
pepper
2

tablespoons garlic, minced
8

ounces cream cheese, softened
¹⁄₂

cup ranch dressing
3

ounces hot sauce (Texas Pete seems to give the best flavor, but this is up to you)
2

stalks celery, chopped (I run mine through the food processor)

DIRECTIONS

Salt and pepper your chicken breasts. Boil with 2 tablespoons garlic for 25-30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. Once cool, pull chicken off the bones and into bite-size pieces.
Mix softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce with hand mixer -- this breaks the cream cheese up the best, if you mix without a mixer it will be chunky.
Fold chicken and celery into cream cheese mixture and enjoy!
