Million Dollar Chicken is a dish inspired by Neiman Marcus Dip, a recipe created by chef Helen Corbit in the 1950s. She worked at the Zodiac Room, a restaurant in the Neiman Marcus department store in Dallas, Texas. The recipe was never officially released, but it is believed to have been a combination of cream cheese, mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and almonds. The name "Million Dollar Dip" is said to have come from the fact that the dip was so good, it tasted like it cost a million dollars.
