Ranch Chicken Cheeseball
Ingredients
Instructions
Elizabeth says
I love cheese balls, but this one sounds really good. I’m going to the store and get everything I need to make it with for Mother’s Day when we ladies all like to sit around, talk, laugh and nibble on stuff in the afternoon. Thanks for the recipe.
Marty says
We make a very similiar cheese ball but since my son refused to eat nuts, we rolled the chicken cheese ball in finely shredded sharp cheddar. DELICIOUS!
Stacey says
Sounds like a great alternative! Thanks for sharing.
Renee says
I like to roll my cheeseballs in chopped parsley…good fiber and helps with onion breath and has a nice fresh flavor that feels clean and good for you..helps with the guilt feeling of eating the cheese ball 😛
Barbara Allen says
Since there are just 2 of us can I split the ball and freeze half of it ? Thank you for posting your wonderful recipes 🙂
Stacey says
Honestly, Barbara, I’m just not sure how well this will freeze. If it works though, please let me know so I can let everyone else know. Good luck!
Karla says
Im going to roll mine in bacon bits!!
Stacey says
Sounds delish! What a great idea!!
Renee says
Wonder if crushed and drained pineapplws would be good
Stacey says
The salty and sweet might be a nice combo. May have to serve it as more of a dip though as the pineapple will add moisture that might keep a ball from holding its shape.
Mary Jo says
Hi, Stacey! Do you drain the can of chicken? You have great recipes!
Stacey says
Thanks, Mary Jo! Yes, you do drain the chicken.
Christina says
I squeeze mine as well.
Mary Jo says
Thanks, Stacey! I plan on making this one day this week.This is just the recipe that I have been hunting for!.
Stacey says
Great! I hope you’ll enjoy it!!
Chanice says
A lady at church made this for our Pastor’s birthday party Sunday, and it was delicious. I plan on trying it for this Labor Day weekend.
Betty says
Been making this for years but without the cheddar cheese and mayo. Everyone always wants me to bring it to parties. It’s great both ways.
Abby says
Just made. Delicious! I think my hubby will be very happy when he gets home :).
Stacey says
Awesome, Abby!!
Brittney Muller says
I love making cheeseballs to give away as part of our Christmas gift basket o goodies, but I was hoping to find a chicken salad alternative. I think this will be just the ticket! Do you suppose the cheeseball would hold together if I add in some of the ingredients in my normal chicken salad, such as chopped nuts, grapes, and apple chunks? I think instead of ranch, I will use my regular chicken salad seasoning, too, to cut down on the MSG. Thank you for sharing!
Stacey says
Sounds great! My only concern would be about the moisture from the apples and grapes. If you give it a try, please let me know how it turns out!
Kimberly says
I think with it being chicken I might mix dill and toasted pecans to roll it in. YUM! Thank you, Stacey!
Stacey says
Yes! I coated one the other day in pecans that were coated in chopped herbs and it was delicious!
Sandy says
Do you have to use Mayo ?
Stacey says
Well, the mayo is what thins out the cream cheese and makes it spreadable.
Lisa says
I added thawed, drained and squeeze dried in paper towels, chopped spinach. So tasty!
Stacey says
Yum! Great addition!
Susanne says
This sounds amazing and I will be making it for Easter. I really like the suggestion of rolling in bacon bits as an alternative to nuts. Also, I am thinking of mixing in a 1/4 cup of craisins. Any thoughts? Thanks for this recipe it really does sound delicious.
Stacey says
Sounds delish to me!!
