Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces tomato sauce
A few dashes hot sauce
1 large bag tortilla chips
3 cups grated Cheddar-Jack (approximately -- you may need more or less)
1/4 cup jarred jalapeno slices
1/4 cup chopped pitted black olives
3 tomatoes, finely chopped
3 green onions, green and white parts, finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and chili powder all over the chicken breasts.
  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side, then remove from the skillet and set aside. To the skillet, add the tomato sauce, hot sauce and 2 cups hot water and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Shred the chicken with 2 forks, then return the shredded chicken to the liquid and simmer on low until everything is hot and bubbly.
  • Assemble the nachos in 2 ways: Sprinkle a layer of tortilla chips onto 2 ovenproof plates or baking dishes. Sprinkle both with cheese and then a layer of chicken; repeat twice more with each layer getting smaller in circumference. Finish with an extra sprinkling of cheese. Bake just until the cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve one dish as is. On the other, layer on the jalapenos, black olives, tomatoes, green onions and sour cream.

Categories     Weeknight

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (20 ounce) package frozen waffle-cut sweet potato fries (I used Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Seasoned Fries)
1/2 rotisserie-cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup buffalo wing sauce
2 tablespoons butter
5 ounces grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3 ounces grated monterey jack pepper cheese or 3 ounces blue cheese, if you prefer
1 bunch scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven per waffle fry package directions.
  • Arrange waffle fries in single layer on a foil-covered baking sheet and cook according to package directions.
  • While fries cook, shred chicken with fingers or a fork; set aside.
  • Heat buffalo wing sauce with butter until the butter melts. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Let sit.
  • Chop scallions and grate the cheeses; set aside.
  • Once the fries are done, pile on the chicken and cheeses.
  • Turn the oven to broil and place the baking pan into the broiler. (My broiler was too small for my baking sheet, so I transferred the fries to a small pizza pan before broiling.).
  • Let cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Remove, sprinkle with scallions and eat once cool enough to touch!
  • *Servings vary: This could feed anywhere from 4-7 people as a party app, or two very hungry people for a dinner where calories don't matter!

Super-simple but totally killer nachos! These are to die for with some guacamole, sour cream and salsa. If it's too spicy for you, just leave out the cayenne.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your nachos will taste. This means using fresh chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Choose the right chips. Nachos are all about the chips, so it's crucial to choose a chip that can hold up to all the toppings. Look for a sturdy chip that won't get soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the nachos. When assembling your nachos, avoid piling on too many toppings. This will make the nachos difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
  • Use a variety of toppings. The best nachos have a variety of toppings that complement each other. Some popular topping options include cheese, chicken, beans, vegetables, and sour cream.
  • Broil the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to hold the toppings in place and create a delicious, crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Chicken nachos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect nachos at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
