Chicken Nacho Grills Recipes

CHICKEN NACHO GRILLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Crush the tortilla chips. Put the chicken breasts on a non-stick baking tray, season, then slash each 3 times with a knife. Spoon 1 tbsp of salsa on top of each, then 1 tbsp soured cream.
• Sprinkle the chips over the chicken, then the cheese. Roast for 15-20 mins until the topping is golden and melting.

CHICKEN NACHOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetable oil, and cayenne pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, or longer if desired.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture, and fry until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spread a thin layer of tortilla chips in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken, 1/4 of the chilies, and 1/4 of the cheese over the chips. Repeat layers ending with cheese on the top.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Serve with your favorite nacho toppings.

GRILLED CHICKEN NACHOS WITH LIME CREMA

Steps:

• Whisk tequila, oil, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne for marinade together in a bowl. Place chicken slices into a plastic bag, add marinade, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, and enough heavy cream to make crema thin enough together in a bowl and refrigerate.
• Remove chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until caramelized and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes on each side.
• Lay tortilla chips out in a single layer over two cookie sheets. Mix pepper Jack and Mexican cheese together and sprinkle half of the mixture over the chips. Cut the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly over cheese. Top chicken with remaining cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle lime crema over nachos and sprinkle with cilantro.

SMOKED CHICKEN NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill and split the chicken in 1/2 from head to tail. Soak the wood chips in water for about 10 minutes. This will prevent the wood chips from burning as soon as they come in contact with the fire. Place the wood chips in the bottom of a grill below the grates. Set the flame on 1 side of the grill to medium and the other side to medium high. Place the chicken, skin side up, on the medium side of the grill. Cover and allow the chicken to smoke and grill at the same time. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool completely before shredding the meat off the bones. Reserve for the assembling of the nachos.
• Form an assembly line with all of the ingredients. Start with the serving dish, then the chips, chicken, tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro and chives. Right before they are served, remove the cheese from the freezer. Using a fine side of a box grater, shave the goat cheese over the top of the nachos.
• Chef's Note: Paper vessels can be purchased at a wholesale restaurant or party supply store. I recommend using individual serving dishes that are 5 inches by 3 inches.
