Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ¾ cup dairy free cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup salsa of choice
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onion
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, cream cheese, salsa, green onion, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder and salt until well combined. Taste and adjust any of the seasonings as desired, then set aside.
