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!!!
