The best shoemaker on earth! Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Any berry variety may be used in this recipe. The quadruple fruit cobbler I made with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries was delicious!

  6. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate; remove and reserve 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet. When bacon is cool enough to handle, finely chop, and set aside (about 1/2 cup).
  7. In the same large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, water, scallions, hot sauce, 1/4 cup of the bacon pieces, reserved bacon drippings, 1 1/2 cups cheese, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  11. Bake until cheese is melted, 10 minutes longer.
  12. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and switch to the oven’s broiler function. Broil on high for 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and brown in spots.
  13. Garnish with remaining bacon (about 1/4 cup) and additional scallions. Serve with sour cream.

Absolutely love this recipe. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it a lot. I added about half an onion into the mix as well
Jacqueline Bullock
I cut the recipe in half for just my husband and me and still had enough left over for another meal. A good way to use left over rotisserie chicken.
Mary Sellers
It was great but I added two cans of cream of chicken when I made it a second time, too dry as is.

This made for a nice week night dinner. The only changes I made was leaving out the hot sauce (personal preference). I had some vegetable broth in the fridge from a previous meal that I wanted to use up so I used that instead of the tap water.
Donald Walker
This is going to be my favorite recipe. It was easy to make and tasted awesome my family raved about it.
