Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup cream cheese spread
  
  

• 1 cup mayonnaise
  
  

• 11 oz canned chicken, flakes (drained)
  
  

• 1/2 cup real bacon bits
  
  

• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  
  

• 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  
  

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese spread and mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer to blend them together until smooth.
   
   

2. Drain the liquid from the canned chicken and add the chicken to the mixture. Use a fork to break apart the chicken and mix it into the creamy base.
   
   

3. Add the bacon bits, chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
   
   

4. You can serve the dip immediately, but for the best flavor, refrigerate it for 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
   
   

5. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
