Chicken Cheese Dip/Ball


- 1 block of Light Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened (use generic at your own risk)
- 1/2 c. Light Sour Cream (Breakstone or Daisy; light generic brands seem runny)
- 1 tsp California Style Garlic Salt
- 1 small can chicken breast, drained
- 1 small packet of sliced almonds

Stir together cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic salt until completely mixed. 

Option 1 (easier): Add chicken and almonds at the same time, then stir until the dip looks uniform in texture.  Refrigerate dip until ready to serve.  Serve as Chicken Cheese Dip.

Option 2 (fancier): Add chicken and stir until evenly distributed in mixture.  Form mixture into a rounded ball and refrigerate several hours.  Roll ball in almonds until evenly coated.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Serve as Chicken Cheese Ball. 

Serve with crackers.  I like TownHouse butter crackers best, but Ritz work just fine, and you could serve with veggies to keep it a bit lighter/healthier.
