Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Nachos: Your Ultimate Game Day Delight

Learn how to make delicious Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Nachos. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s keep it straightforward. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delectable dish:

  • 1 bag of tortilla chips (about 12 ounces)
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream and guacamole for serving

If you’re missing an ingredient or two, don’t fret! This recipe is forgiving and loves substitutions. No jalapeños? Try sliced bell peppers for a milder flavor. No cheddar? Any melting cheese you have on hand will do.

Instructions

Let’s turn those ingredients into something magical. Follow these easy steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread the tortilla chips evenly across a large sheet pan.
  3. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until well coated.
  4. Scatter the BBQ chicken over the tortilla chips.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, making sure to cover as much of the chicken as possible.
  6. Add the sliced jalapeños and chopped red onions for a pop of color and flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  9. Serve hot with sides of sour cream and guacamole. Enjoy!

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the cheese while baking. You want it to melt perfectly without burning. My kids love when the edges get a little crispy, but that’s totally up to your personal preference.
