Chicken Cheese Nachos Recipes

CHICKEN NACHOS

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.

ROASTED CHICKEN NACHOS WITH GREEN CHILI-CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; add the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, and garlic. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and cool slightly, then put them in a blender. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Puree for a few seconds to blend, and then pour in about a 1/4 cup of water and process to a coarse puree; taste and season with a generous pinch of salt. You should have about 2 cups of this salsa verde.
• Make a roux by melting the butter over medium-low heat in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Just as the foam subsides, sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to remove the starchy taste from the flour; don't allow it to brown. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and simmer for 8 minutes to thicken. Once you have a good base, fold in 2 cups of the shredded Jack cheese; mix until completely melted into a sauce. Stir in the prepared salsa verde until incorporated; remove the green chili cheese sauce from the heat.
• Make a quick salsa by combining the cherry tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl; season with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
• To build these awesome nachos: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Get a very large oven-proof platter and cover it with a few handfuls of tortilla chips, follow with a portion of the shredded chicken, a coating of the cheese sauce, and a nice sprinkle of the remaining shredded jack. Make 3 or 4 layers of the nachos, depending on the size of the platter. Bake the nachos until they are all hot and gooey, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Spoon the tomato salsa over the top of the nachos and serve with the sour cream on the side.

CHOPPED CHICKEN NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
