My sweet friend, Meredith always makes this "to die for" chicken cheese ball for any party or shower she helps give. It never fails that the whole thing disappears before the party is over. This past weekend, we helped several other friends give a baby shower for our friend, Alison. Meredith made this cheese ball in the shape of a heart, and we served it with wheat thins and triscuits.
Ingredients:
1 can chicken
1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
1 package (or a little less) Ranch dressing mix
1-2 small packages of crushed pecans (or mixed nuts)
Directions:
Mix the cream cheese with the ranch dressing mix in a small bowl until combined. I think Meredith uses about half or 3/4 of the package.
Shape into a ball (you may refrigerate to make it easier to shape).
Press the chopped nuts on the outside of the ball. Refrigerate until time to serve.

Look at the cute onesies that Meredith and Elisabeth made. They cut out shapes and appliqued them on.
Alison and Oliver have a Westie, so this one is perfect for sweet baby Maggie.
This is the flower arrangement in the baby carriage that Meredith and Elisabeth brought. So cute!!!

It sounds great! But just out of curiosity, where does the 'chicken' come into the name?
Oops! I forgot to put the main ingredient in, but it's fixed now.

It looks delicious, like something that I would love but my husband would hate (because of the ranch).
