My family loves nachos. And bbq chicken. And cheese.
So I knew this recipe would be a hit.
The fact that it only takes 15 minutes is a huge bonus.
That worked out really well the night I made them. Due to a flat tire on one of the cars, we ended up eating in shifts again. Nachos don’t hold over very well, but since they’re so quick to assemble and only need a few minutes under the broiler, it’s easy to make several batches. That way everyone gets to eat them fresh.
We munched these with a Southwestern Chopped Salad kit I picked up at Kroger. It turned out to be a great combo!
Here’s what you’ll need for the nachos:
This is more method than recipe. You can change them up any way you like. We pondered whether pineapple tidbits would be a good addition. Our verdict is that it’s definitely worth trying!
I used rotisserie chicken that I had in the freezer. You can use any kind of cooked chicken though. If you’ve got leftover or batch cooked bbq chicken, all the better!
15 Minute BBQ Chicken Nachos
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1/2 - 1 cup bbq sauce
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2-3 cups shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese combo
Instructions
- Stir the chicken and bbq sauce together. Warm in microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread chips in single layer on baking stone or cookie sheet.
- Top with bbq chicken, red onion slices and cheese.
- Drizzle a little more sauce over the top of everything.
- Broil for about 3-5 minutes, watching closely so the nachos don't burn.
- Serve!
We like regular nachos with taco meat, but this would be a great twist.
Made me think of other options: Buffalo Chicken Nachos – chicken, sliced onion, blue cheese, ranch and buffalo wing sauce
These look delicious! Perfect for busy weeknights.
I’ve made this for my family of 8 5 or 6 times now, and we all love it!!! Thanks so much for this easy, yummy recipe!

This recipe is a keeper ! Made tonight , I had Mexican cheese and Italian used those with a sweet barbeque sauce.Then topped it after baking with a cheese sauce that has a hint of jalapeno. It was the bomb !
