CHICKEN NACHOS

Categories     main-dish

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.

EASY CHICKEN NACHOS



Easy Chicken Nachos image

We used to go to a restaurant that had the best Chicken Nachos so I came up with my own version. Whenever I make them I cover the coffee table and we gather around and eat there, out of the pan, with bowls of various dipping items. This is a meal for our family. One of my kid's favorites.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 3-inch strips
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups thinly sliced onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups chicken stock
4 teaspoons fresh squeezed lime juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 -10 cups corn tortillas
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
3/4 cup sour cream, for garnishing
1/2 cup sliced pickled jalapeno pepper, for garnishing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnishing
pico de gallo, for serving, recipe follows

Steps:

  • For Chicken:.
  • Set a wide-mouthed 3-quart saucepan with lid over medium-high heat and add the oil to the pan. Season the chicken pieces with the chili powder and salt and toss the evenly coat. Add the chicken to the pan and sear for 3 minutes per side. Add the onions to the pan and saute for another 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 1 minute. Pour the chicken stock over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat and cover. Continue to cook the chicken until very tender, about 1 hour, stir the chicken to shred it and continue to cook, covered, for another 30 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, stir and mash to shred the chicken meat and add the lime juice to the chicken. Set aside as you prepare the nachos.
  • For Nachos:.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat and whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not allow the flour to color. While whisking constantly, add the milk in a steady stream. Add the green chiles and bring the sauce to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and bubbly. Add the Cheddar, salt, and cayenne pepper and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Cover and remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large, ovenproof shallow casserole or on a large baking sheet, spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer. Top with half of the chicken, and half of the Monterey Jack cheese. Top with the remaining tortilla chips and chicken. Pour the hot cheese sauce over the chicken, then evenly spread the remaining grated Monterey Jack over the top. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the nachos are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions, sour cream, pickled jalapenos and cilantro. Serve with some pico de gallo or your favorite fresh salsa.

CHOPPED CHICKEN NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chopped Chicken Nachos Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chicken breasts, olive oil, poultry rub, tortilla chips, roasted red pepper, black beans, green onion, garlic, black olive, colby jack cheese

Provided by Lindsey Morales

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts
olive oil, for greasing
poultry rub, to taste
1 bag tortilla chips
8 oz roasted red pepper
1 can black beans
2 stalks green onion
3 cloves garlic
2 oz black olive
4 cups colby jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Place chicken breasts in a pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Sprinkle rub over both sides of the chicken. I like to use Tony's Creole Seasoning, but it is a little spicy so be aware of how much you use or use your favorite rub if you don't want spicy.
  • Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until a digital thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the red peppers, rinse the black beans, slice the green onions including most of the green stem, finely dice the garlic, drain the black olives.
  • Layer the chips on a baking sheet. Layer the veggies on top of the chips.
  • When the chicken is done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Place on a cutting board and chop into 1-inch pieces.
  • Layer the chicken on top of the veggies. Evenly spread the cheese over the top.
  • Heat the oven to broil and leave the top rack in the middle spot. You don't want to get too close to the top and accidentally burn the cheese before the rest of the dish heats up. Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the cheese to melt and the veggies to get warm, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. I like to use a wide spatula to cut through the chips and cheese to serve.
  • Enjoy!
