Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2)
- 6 oz tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 jalapeño pepper (optional)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Meanwhile, cook the chicken breasts in a pot of water for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly, then shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.
- Meanwhile, finely dice 1 small red onion and slice 1 bunch of green onions. Shred about 1 cup cheddar cheese, unless you’re using pre-shredded cheese.
- Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and cook the diced red onion for a few minutes until softened. Add the shredded chicken and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Pour in 1 cup barbecue sauce, stir everything together, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Spread a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of a baking dish (or oven-safe skillet). Top with half of the barbecue chicken, followed by a layer of shredded cheese.
- Repeat with another layer of tortilla chips, the remaining barbecue chicken, and the remaining cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with the green onions, sour cream, and jalapeño slices, if desired.
