At work, we always have a 'holiday feast,' and everyone brings a dish to pass. A co-worker made this dip, and it went over so well that I adopted it as my own.—Dawn Schutte, Sheboygan, Wisconsin

Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

I was looking for something different to serve at an open house and this dip was perfect! It was such a hit! Now every time I serve it, I get requests for the recipe.

Great! I have made this several times and it is always a hit. I have tried making 1/2 of the receipe (used same amount of soy and sesame oil) and only one cream cheese. It worked perfectly.

This was the hit of a shower I gave! I did change it up a little bit by mixing the cream cheese and chicken together and it turned out fantastic! I have been emailing this recipe to the guests all day!

This is awesome! I took this to a get-together and had many requests for the recipe. This is a gread dip if you want something different. My kids did not like this, however, they don't like chinese food so I didn't expect them to. My husband would say this is girly food.

This dip is fabulous!!! I have made it for a few different occasions and it is always a big hit. I call it my Chinese Taco Dip. It is something different from the traditional taco dips. I use extra sweet and sour sauce on the top. I have tried it with several rice crackers and thin crakers and it all seems to work well. I have passed the recipe on to many that have asked.

I've made this several times and I've had many people ask for the recipe! I use more soy sauce than it calls for. I drizzle a little bit over the top at the end.

Trader Joes make a great Sweet Chili sauce that I use. They also have delicious sesame crackers (Savory Thins) that compliment this dip.

I layer the sour cream, chicken, spinach, peanuts, chives, then chili sauce.

I think this is a great & flavorful dip! Definitely let it refrigerate for optimal flavor!

I had to throw out 3/4 of this dish as none of my guests ate it and my family didn't care for it.

This was just okay. There wasn't any wow factor here at all. My son loves appetizers and this did sound really good so I tried it on Christmas Eve. We all had one cracker with the dip and weren't bowled over but tried a second one just in case. Still nothing special. Unfortunately, it's not cheap to make and 99% of it will go in the trash. There's just not a lot of flavor to it. I'm sorry I spent the money and time to put it together.

It was good but nobody thought it was fantastic. I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't hurry to make it again.

Excellent recipe and it's a nice change for the usual dips. Quick and easy to make. Made it for two different events this past month and have been asked numerous times for the recipe. To the previous reviewer you can find Sweet 'n Sour Sauce in the condiment aisle at the grocery store. Kraft has it in a squeeze bottle.

I have not yet made this but will as soon as someone can tell me what sweet and sour sauce is. Thank you.

A friend brought this to a pot luck party. It was wonderful and I couldn't wait to get home and look up the recipe. She added shredded carrots & sesame seeds. Instead of mixing the peanuts in, she served them on the side along with a side of cilantro. I don't think she brought any home.

This always goes over well and it is a nice change from taco dip.

I made this to audition for a graduation open house and tried it out on my husband and 6 kids. My graduating senior asked me to make about 4 trays of this for her party-it was THAT good! This was an easy dip to put together and most of the prep can be done ahead of time, so it's a winner recipe for taste and ease of prep for parties. The peanuts give it that little surprise bite that makes people go: "what's in this?" I was unable to find sesame crackers, so we used keebler butter crackers and ritz crackers with most favoring the butter crackers. If this recipe goes over as well at the party as well as it did with my family, I better make copies of the recipe to hand out.

My friend made this for our book club. It was different and delicious.

Made this for New Year's Eve...not a drop left! I did add cilantro to the chicken mix and also some toasted sesame seeds. And 3 blocks of cream cheese is really overkill...I used 1 1/2 and used the light because it's creamier and spreads better. We served with Scoops...DELICIOUS!!!

I made this for a potluck. Everyone was asking me for the recipe. I modified the recipe by not adding p-nuts because some people had allergies, and I cooked the chicken myself (it is cheaper this way) I just cooked the chicken in a pan with olive oil, soy, garlic and cajun seasoning. Then proceeded to marinate in the soy, garlic, oil combo. Also served with townhouse crackers. Turned out great!

This was an awesome recipe! Brought it to 2 different potlucks the same week and both groups loved it! It makes alot so good to feed a big crowd.

It states in the recipe shredded COOKED chicken breast. So yes, make sure you cook it.

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2009 by MashaLou

But don't you have to cook the chicken before you put it on the cream cheese it doesn't say anything about cooking the chicken in the recipe.

This is a great dish. At first I thought there would be too many green onions. But it blends nicely with the other flavors. Have made several times, always gets rave reviews!

When I tried to look at this recipe it told me that I am not a subscriber.  I most definitely am a subscriber to Taste of Home and don't know how to correct that error.
