    One-Pan Chicken Nacho Party Recipe

    Easy Chicken Skillet Nachos are as tasty as the pictures look, friends! I am working with Sabra (you know, the hummus folks) today and I'm so excited! I made this recipe with football, parties, and entertaining in mind. I love these easy skillet nachos for a few reasons. One, they are delicious and they look fabulous. Two, they take very little time to make which makes them perfect for a party. Three, who doesn't love nachos!?! They are a total crowd-pleaser. Making a huge batch of nachos in a skillet means that you can serve them right out of the pan; serving them alongside Sabra's Farmer's Ranch, guacamole, and salsa means that you have very little prep to do yourself.

    Seriously though, this was delicious! I hope you give it a try! I just cooked an extra chicken breast a day or two in advance while I was making chicken for a different meal. The day I wanted to make these nachos I just chopped up the cold chicken breast and added a little taco seasoning and water. You could use just about any shredded meat or skip it altogether if you'd like. If you don't have a large cast-iron skillet you can also use a large rimmed baking sheet (though the skillet looks fabulous!). The Sabra dips were really fun and easy to use. I highly recommend their products!

    Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Sabra (yay!!!) but all opinions and words are my own. Thank you for supporting brands that I thoughtfully choose to work with and that help make Bless this Mess possible.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • Tortilla chips, about 10 cups
    • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
    • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
    • 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated

    • Diced tomato, green onions, black olives, and jalapenos
    • Sabra Farmer's Ranch
    • Sabra Classic or Spicy Guacamole
    • Salsa

    Instructions

    2. Add the taco seasoning and water to your cooked shredded chicken and stir to combine. Add half of the shredded cheese, half of the chicken, half of the beans to the chips in the skillet. Add a second layer of chips to the skillet and top with the remaining cheese, chicken, and beans.
