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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN NACHOS



Buffalo Chicken Nachos image

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
3/4 cup buffalo sauce
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 (14 ounce) bag corn tortilla chips
2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
6 green onions (chopped)
salt and pepper, to taste

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.

Conclusion:

Buffalo chicken nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or game day gatherings.
