Awesome Chicken Nachos, This is one of those feel good recipes It is so tasty and easy to make it will also sure to please everyone You can change it up and make it spicier or not so spicy for the kids It is a nice dish to have for those Sunday games The hubby will love you for it , Fabulous-this recipe is a keeper! I give this 5+ stars!, We enjoyed these nachos and I will make them again but with some changes The recipe is easy to follow but it really takes some time to make so be sure to allow for that I made as posted except I found that the cheese sauce was way to much for the amount of chips The chips got very soggy long before we were done eating them The flavor of the sauce is great though I would make half of the sauce next time and I think that will be plenty Cooking the chicken ahead in the manner posted turned out VERY flavorful chicken that could be used for other things such as tacos, enchiladas, etc This recipe takes lots of standing at the stove so it may not be a great choice for a party but it is definitely worth the time if you have it and I hope that more chefs try it! It’s a keeper with only a couple of small changes! Thanks for posting!!!
