Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts, chicken broth, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a slow cooker or pot.
  2. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or simmer on the stovetop until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  3. Remove chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce mixture and stir to coat completely.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. Spoon the firecracker chicken mixture evenly over the chips.
  7. Sprinkle both Monterey Jack and cotija cheese over the chicken.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven. Top immediately with sour cream, cilantro, green onions, and jalapeño slices, if using.
  10. Serve your nachos right away.

Notes

  • Noah suggests adjusting the sriracha amount; start small and taste the sauce before adding more heat.
  • Ben recommends using high-quality, sturdy tortilla chips to hold up the toppings.
  • Clara advises assembling the nachos just before serving so the chips stay crisp.
