Recipe Tips

Variation
Substitute 4 cheddar cheese sandwich slices for the sliced chunk cheddar cheese, cutting each cheese slice into 6 pieces before using as directed.
Note
For best results, sort through the package of popcorn chicken to select medium to large pieces of chicken. Once the baked chicken pieces are cut in half, they should easily fit on top of the cheese-topped crackers.
