Loaded Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Nachos image

Provided by Marzia

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
¾ cup bbq sauce (homemade or store-bought)
⅛ - ¼ teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (13-16-ounce) bag tortilla chips
1 cup EACH: shredded Monterey Jack cheese AND cheddar cheese
⅓ cup chopped red onions
½ cup mild pickled jalapeños, drained
⅓ cup warm queso or nacho cheese (homemade or store-bought)
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. To make clean up easier, line a large baking sheet (or sheet pan) with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the bbq sauce, cayenne (if using), and garlic powder. Set aside for now.
ARRANGE: Arrange the tortilla chips on the prepared sheet pan. Evenly distribute the shredded bbq chicken over the chips using a fork. Follow it up with both the shredded cheeses, red onions, and pickled jalapeños. Bake the nachos for 11-13 minutes or until the cheese *just* melts.
SERVE: Meanwhile, make sure the queso is at a 'spoonable' consistency. If it's more solid, you can heat it in the microwave in 10-second increments (stirring in between) until it's back to a liquid-like state, but not hot! Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle with queso. cheese. Place the sheet pan back in the oven for 1-2 minutes or until the queso heats through. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately topped with chopped scallions, sour cream, guacamole, or anything else you like!
