My thoughts on this recipe...
My wife showed me a video of how to make this and it was so simple I HAD to try it. I had made a beer can of chicken earlier in the day so it made having the 2 cups of chicken even easier. Of course, this was the one time we did not have powdered ranch ready to go so I used some my neighbor had. When I was finished cooking the favor got repaid by giving them some of the dip back which they raved about!
I will 100% be making this again next time friends or family comes over for a flavor-packed appetizer.
