Loaded BBQ Chicken Nachos

Here it is Jodi! :) We just made these tonight and they where glorious. Seriously. I got the recipe from Facebook! Have you heard/seen the facebook page Tasty? Well I follow that page and everyday on my feed I see different recipes. I saw this one yesterday and just had to try it. These nachos where incredible and super easy to make. This is the original recipe and we ate it all in one sitting (we're pigs)  so some of you will want to double or triple or quadruple or whatever because the more there is the better!! 


Loaded BBQ Chicken Nachos:


  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 2 chicken breasts, finely diced
  • ½ Tbsp. kosher salt
  • ½ Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • ¾ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1  bag of tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheese blend (or more!!!!!!!)
  • ½ red onion, finely sliced*
  • 1 tomato, diced*
  • 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled*
  • 2 Tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
  • sour cream
  • 1 avocado, diced
*Instead of chopping up onions and tomatoes, I just got a little bowl/container of pico de gallo at the store and it was great and easy. And instead of cooking and cutting up bacon, I got a packet of bacon bits at the store. I do this with EVERY recipe that asks for bacon no matter what. It's faster, easy, less messy and it tastes the same!!!!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Cook the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder for two to three minutes. Add the barbecue sauce and cook until the sauce has reduced by about half, about five minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large skillet, spread out two large handfuls of tortilla chips. Layer with half of the barbecue chicken, followed by half of the cheese, onion, tomato, bacon, and parsley. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (two layers). Bake for 15 minutes.
Drizzle the sour cream and sprinkle the avocado on top. Serve!
Here's a link to a fast video of the recipe. I'll give you a better idea of how to make them. ENJOY!!!
