Lee's Hot Chicken Dip

This is our friend and neighbor Lee at our Christmas party this year. Lee is a terrific cook. He is also the only man that frequently reads my blog and then emails me about my recipes. He keeps me laughing! I have nicknamed him Skittle because well, he loves Skittles candy. Our families always sit together at High School football games and swim meets and Lee usually always has a box of Skittles with him :) By the way, if you know of any desserts that involve skittles, please let me know so I can make them for Lee! Anyway, this year Lee brought this Hot Chicken Dip to our party and I told him that if he gave me the recipe that I would post about him and his Chicken Dip. Sorry the photo's aren't better, but after a couple of glasses of wine what do you expect???? So here's to good friends and good cooks like Lee!
