crunchy buffalo chicken cups

 I LOVE THE PAMPERED CHEF!!!  Did I tell you I love the Pampered Chef?  I am so excited about the new fall line that will be coming out September 1, 2013. In the new Season's Best Recipe Collection, there are some really great recipes.  

I decided to try one out this weekend and thought I would give you a sneak peek.  I made the Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Cups.  I took some to a friends Pool Party yesterday and they were a HIT!!!  I thought I would give you a sneak peek.  

crunchy buffalo chicken cups

2 cups corn chips

1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

2 green onions

1 cup finely diced cooked chicken breast

2 tbsp hot cayenne pepper sauce (see cook's tip)

2 tbsp sour cream

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.  Generously spray wells of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Finely process corn chips in Manual Food Processor.  Grate cheddar using Microplane Adjustable Coarse Grater.  Add 1 cup of the cheddar to processor, process until cheese is incorporated.

3. Spoon about 1 tbsp chip mixture into each well of pan and lightly press to flatten using Mini-Tart Shaper,  Bake 8-10 minutes or until cups are bubbly and edges are golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool 3-4 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions using Utility Knife, set aside 1 tbsp of the green tops for garnish.

5. Combine remaining green onions, chicken, hot cayenne pepper sauce, sour cream, blue cheese and remaining 1/2 cup cheddar in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well.  Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 30-60 seconds or until mixture is warm and cheese is slightly melted.

6.  Release cups from pan using cleaning tool of Garlic Press and place onto Stackable Cooling Rack.  Spoon about 1 level tbsp filling into each cup.  Drizzle with additional hot cayenne pepper sauce, if desired.  Garnish with reserved green onion tops.  

cook's tips: I used Texas Pete Buffalo Wing sauce and omitted the onions because of picky eaters in my house.
