Ingredients:
| ALFREDO SAUCE | |
| 1 cup | half and half |
| 1 cup | heavy cream |
| 2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
| 2 cloves | garlic, minced |
| 1/2 cup | parmesan |
| salt and pepper | |
| 2 tablespoons | flour |
| CHIPS AND TOPPINGS | |
| wonton wrappers cut in triangles | |
| cooked, and shredded chicken | |
| green bell pepper | |
| mozzarella cheese | |
| olives | |
| parsley, chopped | |
| Parmesan cheese | |
| oil for frying (peanut or canola) |
Directions:
In a sauce pot, over medium heat, add the unsalted butter and begin to melt. Stir in the garlic until the butter is completely melted. Quickly add the flour and continuously stir until it is clumped together and golden. Whisk in the heavy cream and half and half. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 8-10 minutes or until thickening. Add the cheese and seasoning. Stir thoroughly.
Saute peppers, adding them to a hot pan with a little olive oil over medium high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender.
Heat the oil in a large skillet, oil about 1/3 of the way up, over medium high heat. Add the wontons one at a time and allow to cook until barely golden, flip and cook again. Drain on a paper towel.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then the wontons. Sprinkle with alfredo sauce, chicken, peppers, and mozzarella cheese.
Place under the broiler in your oven until the cheese is completely melted, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with olives, parmesan cheese and parsley.
