I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Chicken Scampi Dip

If you like chicken scampi or if you like cheese, you are going to love this.  So easy to make.  If you want to make it even easier substitute the fresh cooked chicken breast with a couple cans of canned-flaked chicken breast (although fresh is always better).    This dip goes quick!
