1 package won tons (cut on the diagonal, to make triangles)

1 package ground Italian sausage (browned and drained)

6 oz grilled chicken

¼ cup banana peppers

Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

½ cup sliced black olives

Jalapenos (optional)

Alfredo Cheese Sauce

4 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

3 tablespoons flour

2 ½ cups half and half

2 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and the whisk in flour. Cook stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half and half a little at a time. cook until thickened, for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Cover and set aside. (If sauce gets too thick, blend in a little milk, or more half and half.)

Heat a heavy saucepan or deep fryer filled with oil to medium. If should take about 20 minutes for oil to heat. Cook won tons until light brown. It only takes a few seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

Pile the won ton chips on a large serving platter. Drizzle with warm cheese sauce. Add sausage, chicken, tomatoes, olives and peppers. Top with Parmesan and Mozzarella if desired. Microwave until cheese on top is melted.
