Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The air whipped into whipped cream cheese creates its light, fluffy texture.
  • tip 2
    Regular cream cheese can be used in place of whipped cream cheese. Use it as is, or beat it briefly with an electric mixer at high speed.
  • tip 3
    Thinly sliced roasted chicken from the deli is best in these sandwiches, but packaged sliced chicken breast for sandwiches can be used.
  • tip 4
    If desired, the cranberry sauce can be pulsed in a food processor to make a spreadable fruit.
  • tip 5
    Bake frozen seasoned potato wedges to serve with these sandwiches.
