Janet’s Chicken Dip Janet’s Chicken Dip My friend, Janet, gave me this recipe years ago. She often brings it to our Sunday school Christmas parties! I love it! It was a hit with the "Lost Crew," too!  2 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese 2 large cans canned chicken, drained 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa 2 cup Monterey Jack cheese tortilla chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9x13 with cooking spray.

Serve with tortilla chips.
