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!
