Say hello to cheesy, sweet, and spicy goodness with BBQ Chicken Nachos Recipe! Perfect for Super Bowl weekend or just because!

I’ll have you know that I had every intention of posting a comforting and warm meal today because of rainy weather, but my pregnancy kind of sabotaged the whole thing and I’m posting about this BBQ Chicken Nachos Recipe today. Why? Because who doesn’t love nachos. Also, because I was craving them. Me being pregnant + actually having an appetite now means that this little dude or dudette is bound to come out all chunky. That is a fact. And these nachos went over swimmingly with my 1 1/2 kiddos. It made a fabulous lunch for us but would double as a great appetizer or snack. If you have a leftover rotisserie chicken in your fridge, then these come together in no time at all and are seriously divine. My 3-year-old was really hesitant at first, but we dipped hers into a little ‘white stuff’ {sour cream} and she was fighting me over the last few pieces. Not even kidding, you guys.

Give them a whirl today! Here’s how you make them:

Start out by turning your broiler on. Line a small baking sheet with tortilla chips. Feel free to line with foil if you’re lazy. Or be like me and be so lazy to not even attempt to reach for the foil. To each’s own.

Then grab your left over chicken, chop it up with some good ol’ sauce of the barbecue variety and nuke it. Sticking these nachos under the broiler will melt cheese and will NOT heat chicken thoroughly. Therefore, use the microwave.

I threw on a little more BBQ sauce because I like dangerously. And, because I also like bbq sauce.

Overtop of this hot mess, sprinkle on some cheese. Don’t be stingy. You want a good layer!

Now, stick this under the broiler and let everything melt and bubble. Mmmm….I love nachos. Once you pull them out, you can add whatever you like to the top. I went for a BBQ chicken pizza feel and added cilantro, green onion and pepperoncini peppers {because my sister got me addicted to them and because I’m pregnant}.

Once all your toppings are in place, dig on in! We ate ours with sour cream, but these are just fabulous as is! Hello, cheesy sweet and spicy goodness! Mmmm…..

I was rather satisfied with the outcome of this BBQ Chicken Nachos Recipe and think you will too. My tummy {and itty bitty baby} were very happy 🙂 Here’s the printable; have a great day!
