Easy Asian-Style Chicken Appetizers

I know we're all excited about Thanksgiving coming up and everything, but you realize that once those leftovers are stuffed in the back of the fridge, it's already time to start planning (or just attending) Christmas parties!

I love party food. It's like going to the grocery store and eating all those little samples, but you can come back for more. And you don't feel like a cow, because the majority of the food is bird sized! You just have to be smart about what you pick up. Not only for calorie reasons (but who watches those during the holidays...), but because you don't want to be left staaarving after the food is gone. Even if you're trying to impress your friend's cute neighbor by not scarfing cake, eating nothing but broccoli off the veggie tray is definitely a bad idea (also, don't eat broccoli at a party. it gets in your teeth, and people are just too awkward to tell you about it).

 

So on to the recipe...

 

This is the perfect party food. It's yummy, filling, and won't have the cute neighbor walking away disgusted by your teeth. Also, very easy to make!

 

It's from kraftfoods.com and is so worth trying.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

(ps. the caps... their emphasis on the brands, not mine. although I do agree, there's just no substituting a Ritz).

 

3 Tbsp. KRAFT GOOD SEASONS Asian Sesame with Ginger Dressing

1 Tbsp.  KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise

1-1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken

8   snow peas, chopped

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Dash  freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup chopped PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts

24   RITZ Crackers

 

Directions:

MIX dressing and mayo in medium bowl until well blended.
ADD all remaining ingredients except nuts and crackers; mix well.
SPOON chicken mixture onto crackers just before serving; top with nuts.

Makes 12 servings.

Extra tips:

Use a cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket to make this dish even easier!

Chicken mixture can be prepared in advance. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator up to 24 hours before using as directed. For best results, spoon onto crackers just before serving.
