Instructions

1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature until smooth and easy to mix.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, drained chicken, ranch seasoning mix, mayonnaise, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly blended and creamy.

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop and mixture to firm.

4. Lay plastic wrap on the counter and spoon the chilled mixture into the center.

5. Gather plastic wrap and shape into a smooth ball, twisting the top to tighten.

6. Spread chopped pecans on a plate. Unwrap and roll cheese ball in pecans, pressing lightly to adhere.

7. Transfer to a serving plate and serve chilled with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Ensure chicken is thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture.

Chill thoroughly before shaping for best texture.

For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits.
