A UNIQUE BUT EASY DIP RECIPE

This recipe for creamy chicken dip was a happy accident. I was on vacation and had gone to the store for a few items. It was about time to leave and I had some canned chicken, leftover salsa and chips and some cream cheese. I ended up making, what is now, one of our favorite dips!

Try adding some ranch seasoning to this recipe for a twist.
Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened or it won't incorporate very well with the other ingredients.
