Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann’s or Duke’s

1 large garlic clove, minced
2 cups shredded cooked chicken, from 1 rotisserie chicken
2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese, divided

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, warm the cream cheese in the microwave until softened, about 45 seconds. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and garlic and whisk until combined. Stir in the chicken, 1-1/2 cups of the pepper jack, 6 tablespoons of the blue cheese, and the scallions. Transfer the mixture into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of pepper jack and 2 tablespoons of blue cheese over top.
Bake the dip for about 20 minutes, until bubbling. Turn on the broiler and broil 6 inches from the heat until lightly browned on top, a few minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with scallions and serve warm with tortilla chips and celery sticks.
