Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the ranch dressing mix and beat until fully combined.

3. Drain the canned chunk chicken well, break up any large pieces, and fold it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

4. Scrape the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, gather the wrap around it, and shape it into a firm ball.

5. Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 1 hour, until firm enough to hold its shape.

6. Spread the chopped pecans on a plate. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the pecans until the outside is evenly coated.

7. Serve chilled with crackers or vegetable sticks.
