Recipe Tips

Substitute
Substitute mild banana pepper rings or canned sliced jalapeño peppers for the sliced fresh jalapeño peppers.
Shortcut
Omit shredded cooked chicken breasts, barbecue sauce and canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Microwave 1 cup refrigerated fully cooked pulled chicken (1/2 of 16-oz. tub) in microwaveable bowl as directed on package, mixing chicken with 1/2 tsp. chipotle chile pepper powder before microwaving.
Use Your Microwave
To heat the topped crackers in your microwave instead of the oven, top crackers with cheese and cooked chicken mixture as directed. Place 6 topped crackers in single layer on microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 20 sec. or until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining topped crackers. Top with jalapeño peppers.
