BBQ Chicken Nachos

I made these last night after a lazy Saturday.  It was quite fitting for the occasion and quite delicious!  I came up with the idea a while ago because my fiance loves BBQ sauce, but I was tired of makes BBQ chicken sandwich.  This helped put a new twisty on an already tasty dish and has become a house favorite.

BBQ Chicken Nachos
Makes 1 Serving

10 Whole Wheat Tortilla Chips
3oz Chicken Breast
BBQ ( I use Sweet Baby Ray's for this recipe)
2oz cheese (I used sharp cheddar, but any mild or sharp cheese will do)
10 slices of jarred Jalapenos
4 tbsp Mild Salsa
2 tbsp Sour Cream (I didn't have any, but it is a nice touch)
1 tbsp hot sauce

Place the chips on a plate making sure that the plate is fully covered and that the chips have as much surface area as possible.

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and cook thoroughly in a frying pan over medium heat.

Once the chicken is cooked through, take the pan off the heat and allow it to cool for a minute.  This will keep the BBQ sauce from splattering everywhere when you add it to the pan.  Once, cooled but still warm, add the BBQ sauce.  I don't have an exact amount for this, it's really a personal preference.

 Now we can start assembling the nachos.  Take the chips you nicely laid out before and even scatter the chicken around the plate.

Next add the salsa, jalapenos, and hot sauce by drizzling the sauces and placing then peppers all around the plate.

Next, add the cheese.  Make sure to cover as much of the nachos as possible, and feel free to use more cheese if you think you need it.  You want a full even coating so that all the chips will have cheese.

Lightly melt the cheese by placing the whole plate in the microwave for 30sec on High.  You don't need to get the cheese boiling, just make sure it's in there long enough to melt.

Finally, Drizzle some more BBQ sauce and add some sour cream to the top if you have it.  These are great for a lazy, quick dinner, or as an appetizer for a party.
