Not Your Average 7 Layer Dip!

So the other day I was on the quest to make a 7 layer dip for a girls night!!! I don't like the texture of refried beans so I wanted to make something else, but in true layered format.

Here is what I came up with:

Sweet Chili Thai Chicken 7 Layer Dip

1 rotisserie chicken, shredded

1 cup carrots shredded

1/2 cup peanuts, chopped

1 1/2 cups crumbled chow mein noodles

6 tbsp. green onions, chopped

3/4 cup red pepper, minced

4 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

6 tbsp. soya sauce

2 large blocks of cream cheese, room temperature

1 1/2 cup sweet chili thai sauce

1/3 cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing

Mix 3/4 to 1 cup of Thai sauce with cream cheese in mixer. Spread as base in 9x13' pan. Add 1/4 Thai sauce to soya sauce & chicken. Mix to incorporate. Spread over cream cheese base.

Next layer is shredded carrots, then green onions, then red peppers, then cilantro.

Mix remaining 1/4 cup of Thai sauce with chow mein noodles & peanuts. Sprinkle over top.

Drizzle with Sesame dressing.

Serve with rice crackers.

This was a real hit and I will definitely be making this number again real soon!!!
