Tips & Variations

  • Lower Fat Option: Use light cream cheese, light mayo, or substitute plain Greek yogurt for the mayo (this may slightly alter the taste).
  • Adjust Seasoning: If using rotisserie chicken, adjust salt and pepper to taste based on its seasoning.
  • Softening Cream Cheese: Microwave cream cheese for about 25 seconds until just softened (not melted) for easier mixing.
