• Yield 20 servings
• Ready in 150 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (toasted or regular)
• 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 2 to 3 cups cooked (shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great))
• 16 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 1 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
• 1 to 2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup finely chopped chives or green onions
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or toasted sesame seeds
• Sesame rice crackers (for serving)

Instructions

1. Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Toss with the shredded chicken. Set aside.
2. Spread cream cheese evenly on 10- to 12-inch serving plate or platter. Top with sweet Thai chili sauce, spinach, chicken, chives or green onions, and peanuts or sesame seeds.
3. Serve right away or refrigerate 2-4 hours (any longer and the peanuts can soften and the spinach can get a bit wilty). Serve with rice crackers.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
