These were a huge hit at my house! My son and his gf plus three Repo Guys all inhaled these. I made this exactly as written except that I doubled the recipe, and it was a good thing I did! I used the Scoops type chip and piled them on a tray and tossed them in the oven to melt the cheese, they came out great! Thanks WI Cheesehead! Made for the Potluck Tag (January) Bring a Friend Event.

The flavor was excellent. I subtracted a star just because the sauce was just too runny even though I put the cheese in at first prompt to thicken it up. I eventually put the whole 2-cup bag of cheese into the sauce but it still had too much liquid. Next time...no water. It was not needed. I would eat this thrown on a bun, too!

I used my Roasted Chicken Breast recipe (not posted yet) to make this today. My BBQ sauce was Sweet Baby Ray's I love that stuff. This was easy to make. You may need a fork to help heap some of the chicken onto the chips. I will be making this again. Thank you for posting. Made for the *Recipe Swap 14* game 2008 in the Aussie/NZ forum.
