This just might be the perfect appetizer. Whip it up for game-day as easily as a movie night snack. The savory and salty combo of the cheese and chips is magical when paired with Decoy Red Wine. Guests will be asking for more.

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Franks)
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, gouda and/or gruyere)
• ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• Tortilla chips and/or celery sticks

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

1. In a stand mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and garlic and whip until combined. Fold in the chicken, 3/4 cup of the cheese, 6 tablespoons of the blue cheese (if using) and the green onion. Transfer the mixture into a 1-½ quart baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese over top.
2. Bake the dip for about 20 minutes, until bubbling. Turn on the broiler and broil 6 inches from the heat until lightly browned on top, a few minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
