BUFFALO CHICKEN NACHOS
Steps:
- Buffalo Sauce: Combine 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 minced jalapeno and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in a saute pan over medium heat; let the butter melt, then cook 2 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank¿s RedHot), 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 tablespoon each lime juice and white vinegar; bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Spicy Chicken: Combine 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon each cayenne, celery salt and kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts into thick strips; toss with 1/4 cup of the Buffalo sauce and arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the paprika mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
- Pita Chips: Heat 4 inches canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot. Cut 8 pitas into wedges. Fry in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt.
- Blue Cheese Topping: Melt 1/2 cup crumbled smoked blue cheese with 1/2 cup milk in a saucepan over medium heat; transfer to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup more blue cheese and 1/4 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise; stir in 2 tablespoons chopped chives and season with salt and pepper.
- Make the Buffalo sauce, spicy chicken, pita chips and blue cheese topping (see above).
- Spread half of the pita chips in a large baking dish. Top with half of the chicken, Buffalo sauce and blue cheese topping; sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella. Repeat with another layer of pita chips, chicken, Buffalo sauce and blue cheese topping; sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
- Bake at 350 degrees F until the cheese melts and the pita chips soak up some of the sauce, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped celery, sliced radishes and pickled jalapenos.

Steps:
- In a bowl, add your shredded chicken, buffalo sauce and Greek yogurt in a bowl until fully combined.
- Lay your tortilla chips on a pan and spread your chicken on top.
- Sprinkle your cheese on top of it all. (you can switch this step the other way, but I like my cheese on top.)
- Place in oven and broil for 3 minutes or until the cheese melts
- Garnish with salt and pepper and green onion slices.
- Eat immediately.
Tips:
- To make your own buffalo sauce, simply combine equal parts hot sauce, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce. You can also add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar for a sweeter sauce.
- If you don't have any blue cheese dressing on hand, you can use ranch dressing or sour cream instead.
- To make your nachos extra crispy, bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes before adding the toppings.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken for your nachos. Just shred it and toss it with buffalo sauce before adding it to the nachos.
- For a vegetarian version of these nachos, use tofu or tempeh instead of chicken.
