Ingredients
  

For the Nachos
  • 4 cups Sturdy Tortilla Chips Essential for structural integrity; choose thicker brands to prevent sogginess.
  • 2 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken Provides hearty flavor; rotisserie chicken is a quick option that works wonderfully.
  • 1 cup Salsa Verde (mild or medium) Adds tanginess and a zesty kick; customize the heat by selecting your favorite variety.
  • 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack or Mozzarella Cheese Offers a perfect melt; feel free to mix with other cheeses for an extra flavor boost.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro Brightens the dish with fresh flavor; omit if you’re not a fan of cilantro.

Equipment

  • 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Skillet Salsa Verde Chicken Nachos
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your oven-safe skillet.
  2. Spread half of the sturdy tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of your skillet.
  3. Layer half of the cooked, shredded chicken over the tortilla chips, followed by half of the salsa verde, and half of the cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Place your assembled skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  5. Switch your oven setting to broil for an additional 1-3 minutes until edges are charred and golden brown.
  6. Let cool briefly, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
