Notes

Recipe Notes:

Canned Chicken - Make sure to drain the liquid well from the can, otherwise the dip will be watery.

Cilantro - Exclude the cilantro if you do not like it, instead add half a teaspoon of chopped parsley.

Fresh Chicken Breast - If using fresh chicken breast, use one breast and cook for 20 minutes in a pot of boiling water then shred the breast using two forks.
