📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make mixing easier.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to stir until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the curry powder, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly incorporate the spices.

4. Fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the spread.

5. If desired, stir in the chopped green onions, raisins, and chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.

6. Taste the spread and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or curry powder as needed.

7. Transfer the spread to a serving dish or an airtight container. Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

8. For best results, allow the spread to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together.
