BBQ Chicken Nachos are perfect for sharing with friends at a party or as a hearty main meal. They’re stacked with layers of crunchy tortilla chips, cheese and BBQ sauce, melted cheddar cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, jalapeno, and chopped red onion.
Use this mouth-watering recipe as a base for building your own nachos with your favorite toppings!
Variations:
- Instead of shredded chicken, use shredded turkey or pulled pork. You can also enjoy ground beef, pork, turkey, or ground chicken in this recipe.
- Standard white tortilla chips are great for any nacho recipe but feel free to also use blue tortilla chips which become quite popular towards 4th of July.
- Consider adding other toppings such as corn and black beans.
- Turn this dish into a vegetarian nachos meal by omitting the chicken and adding other ingredients such as beans, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and chopped radishes.
- Add an extra kick of heat to these BBQ chicken nachos by using a hot sauce or topping the nachos with spicy ingredients like a hot salsa.
- While I’ve used cheddar cheese, you can use your favorite cheese. Mozzarella, crumbled feta, or a Mexican cheese blend would work well.
Loaded BBQ Chicken Nachos
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer on an oven safe platter or baking sheet.
- Scatter half of the chicken over the top. Drizzle half of the BBQ sauce and half the cheese sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle half the cheddar cheese, jalapeño, and onion over the cheese and BBQ sauce.
- Repeat with a second layer of everything.
- Put the nachos into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with lime wedges, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream.
