CHICKEN SPREAD

Category: Spreads -- Cold

2 (9.75 oz) cans chicken
2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix

Drain and shred the chicken. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Italian seasoning thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight if possible. Serve with crackers or as a chicken salad. Garnish with green olive slices or shredded cheese or carrots, if desired.

NOTES: This is also hearty enough to be used on open faced sandwiches and croissants. Make the chicken mix a day ahead of time if possible to allow the flavors to blend.
