🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or crushed crackers (optional, for coating)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded chicken using a spatula or hand mixer until well incorporated.

2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.

4. Optional: Place the chopped pecans or crushed crackers on a plate. Roll the chicken ball in the coating until fully covered for added crunch and presentation.

5. Wrap the chicken ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the ball to firm up.

6. Before serving, remove the chicken ball from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.

7. Serve with crackers, sliced veggies, or toasted baguette slices.
