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!

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups buttermilk
3 teaspoons black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
1 ½ cups maple syrup
2 tablespoons vinegar based hot sauce
2 cups canola oil, for frying

½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 large eggs
14 frozen waffles, cut into quarters
3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

  • Make the spicy maple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cook for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Set aside until ready to serve, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 325°F (170°C). Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels and set nearby.
  • Working in batches, fry the quartered waffles in the hot oil for about 30 seconds on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining 2 teaspoons of black pepper, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well.
  • Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and, working in batches, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, then in the flour again. Place on the wire rack.
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Season with additional salt if desired. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Turn the oven to broil.
  • Arrange the fried waffles on a baking sheet, overlapping slightly. Top with the chicken and cheddar cheese.
  • Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
  • Drizzle the nachos with ½ cup (120 ML) of the spicy maple syrup, dollop on the sour cream, and scatter the scallions over the top. Serve with the remaining spicy maple syrup alongside
  • Enjoy!
