BBQ Chicken Nachos

BBQ Chicken Nachos take only minutes to prepare and only require FOUR, yes four, ingredients! What more could you ask for?! Super simple to make and loaded with flavor? Yes please!!

BBQ Chicken Nachos are sweet and spicy nachos that will be ready in 7 minutes with only 4 ingredients! Banana peppers, pre-made BBQ chicken, pepper jack cheese, and chips are as a snack, appetizer, or side dish!

You don’t always have time to prepare a glamorous dish, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor! Hubby and I eat BBQ Chicken Nachos as a snack or for a meal alongside a salad. Simple, tasty and colorful.

I love the glowing neon color of Sweet and Spicy Banana Peppers and how the spicy and sweet flavors profiles play off of each other!

I use Scoops for nachos, purely because I am slightly OCD and like to have an equal ratio of toppings on each chip, but you can use whatever tortilla chip floats your boat! You can even layer them.

Nachos might be something you usually only get at the movies, or as an appetizer when you’re out for dinner, but they don’t have to be. If you don’t know how to make nachos, then I’m here to give you a few pointers.

Nachos are basically made up of a base layer of tortilla chips that are topped with any toppings of your choice. In this recipe I put my chips in a baking sheet and scooped in a dollop of BBQ chicken and a cube of pepper jack cheese.

Then I broiled them on high for only 5 minutes. Don’t walk away just keep an eye so they don’t burn! Take them out of the oven when the cheese looks melty. Top with some minced banana peppers, and just enjoy.
