Notes for Getting It Right
- Bake the chips until crisp before assembling.
- Add the cheese last.
- Slice the chicken thin so it layers well.
Changing the Recipe
- Dried chilli flakes can stand in for the chilli. Heat varies a great deal between chillies and between jars, so start with a small pinch and add more to taste.
- An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.
What Goes With Kapsalon
