🔥🧀 Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Chicken Alfredo Crunch Cups
Ingredients:
* 2 bags Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Crunchy, 8½ ounces each
* 1 package Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips, about 22 ounces
* 1 jar RAGÚ Classic Alfredo Sauce, 16 ounces
* 2 cups Kraft Natural Cheese Mozzarella, shredded
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
* ½ teaspoon garlic powder
* ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
* ¼ teaspoon black pepper
* ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
* ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
* 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
* 1–2 tablespoons milk, only if needed to thin the sauce
* Extra crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, for topping
* 6–8 heat-safe serving cups or small bowls
* Aluminum foil, optional for decorative bag-style serving
* Large skillet
* Medium saucepan
How to Make It:
1️⃣ Crush the Cheetos
Reserve about 2 cups of whole Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Place the remaining Cheetos in a large resealable bag and lightly crush them into coarse crumbs.
2️⃣ Prepare the chicken
Cut the Tyson chicken breast strips into smaller bite-size pieces so they are easier to layer and eat.
3️⃣ Season the chicken
Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
4️⃣ Brown until hot
Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned around the edges.
5️⃣ Warm the Alfredo sauce
Pour the RAGÚ Alfredo sauce into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir frequently so the sauce does not scorch.
6️⃣ Make it extra cheesy
Add 1 cup of Kraft mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese to the warm Alfredo sauce. Stir until melted and smooth. Add a small splash of milk only if the sauce is too thick.
7️⃣ Coat the chicken
Pour about two-thirds of the Alfredo sauce over the cooked chicken. Toss gently until every piece is generously coated.
8️⃣ Build the cups
Add a layer of whole or lightly crushed Cheetos to each serving cup. Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo over the chips, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
9️⃣ Add the finishing layers
Top each cup with more chicken, extra Alfredo sauce, crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and the remaining shredded mozzarella.
🔟 Garnish and serve
Finish with chopped green onions, parsley, and extra Cheetos crumbs. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and the Cheetos are still crunchy.
