Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buffalo Chicken Nacho Platter.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Prepare a large, rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and giving it a light spritz of cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, blend together 1/4 cup of blue cheese dressing, a splash of cayenne pepper sauce, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and harmonious.
Step 4
Toss in the shredded chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated in this flavorful concoction.
Step 5
Next, arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Generously scatter chopped tomatoes, black olives, diced red onions, and jalapeño slices over the chips, creating a vibrant medley.
Step 7
Layer the chicken mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of crispy crumbled bacon for that irresistible crunch.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, combine shredded Mexican cheese blend and Monterey Jack cheese, then evenly distribute this cheesy goodness over the chicken and veggies.
Step 9
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and lightly golden.
Step 10
Once out of the oven, elevate your nachos by drizzling the remaining 1/2 cup of blue cheese dressing over the top.
Step 11
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s perfect for sharing or indulging all on your own!.
