Hot Wing Dip

2 boneless organic chicken breasts

½ to 1 cup of Ashanti Chicken Wing Sauce – or other organic wing sauce

¼ cup of organic cheddar cheese – shredded

Cook chicken breasts by placing in a pot and covering with water.  Bring to a boil and boil until chicken is done, about 20 to 25 minutes.  Take the chicken out of the water and let cool for about 30 minutes. 

Put the cooked chicken and ½ cup of Ashanti Chicken Wing Sauce in the blender.  Blend slowly until chicken is broken into small pieces.  Add more Chicken Wing Sauce and blend until desired consistency (it should be thick enough for a cracker to scoop, but not so thin that it is smooth or runny). 

Put blended chicken dip into a heat resistant dish – such as a small pie plate – and sprinkle the organic cheddar cheese on top.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and heat dip thoroughly until cheese is melted about 20 minutes.

You can top with additional wing sauce if desired, or serve as is with organic crackers, bread or corn chips.
