Recipe Thursday: Warm Chicken Curry Dip

As promised here is this week's recipe. It is actually a Pampered Chef appetizer recipe that I served at my open house and it met with rave reviews. Enjoy!

Dip:

1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 package (8oz) softened cream cheese.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 garlic clove minced or pressed
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp salt

Topping:
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup apricot jam
additional thinly sliced green onions (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Chop chicken and green onions. Combine chicken, green onions, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, raisins, cheese, curry powder and salt. Mix well and then spread into the bottom of a 8 inch round pan.
Bake 18-20 minutes.
Combine coconut and almonds. Spread apricot jam over warm dip and then sprinkle with coconut mixture. Top with green onions if desired. Serve with Apple Wedges, Celery sticks or Toasted bread rounds.
