- This recipe is easiest to make when the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- You can make this recipe your own by adding other spices like onion powder, garlic powder or even Old Bay.
- You can leave off the pecans or change the type of nut used to roll the chicken cheese ball in if you prefer.
