CHICKEN-ARTICHOKE-CHEESE SPREAD 
3 c. diced cooked chicken
2 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
1 14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and diced
1 c. finely chopped pecans, toasted
4 green onions, minced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. seasoned pepper
Garnishes- 7-8 onion stems and 1 red chili pepper, halved

Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl until blended. Spoon into a 9x5 loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Cover and chill for 8 hours. Invert chilled mixture onto a serving plate. Garnish if desired, to look like a present using the onion stem as a ribbon and the chili pepper as a bow. Serve with crackers or toasted French baguettes.
