Ingredients
  

For the Aromatic Base
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

The Aromatic Base
  1. Heat the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium high heat.
  2. Add the chicken, onion and celery ribs to the pan.
  3. Cook until the veggies are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Melt the Cheeses Together
  1. Add the cream cheese to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and stir to soften.
  2. Add the cheddar cheese and hot pepper sauce.
  3. Keep stirring until everything is melted together.
Serve & Keep Warm
  1. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately directly from the warm pan with sturdy corn chips.
  2. If prepping ahead for a party, carefully pour the finished dip into an elegant ceramic baking dish and keep warm in a low-temperature oven until kickoff.
