Italian Chicken Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Line rimmed baking sheet w/ foil. Warm all of Alfredo sauce in a saucepan or microwave.
• 2. Place 1/2 of tortilla chips on baking sheet. Layer 1/2 of sliced chicken, 1/2 of tomato, 1/2 of green onions, 1/2 of olives and a few slices of jalapeño (if desired). Pour 1/2 of sauce and sprinkle 1/2 of cheese over chips. Repeat steps, using remaining ingredients.
• 3. Broil on high until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetable oil, and cayenne pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, or longer if desired.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture, and fry until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spread a thin layer of tortilla chips in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken, 1/4 of the chilies, and 1/4 of the cheese over the chips. Repeat layers ending with cheese on the top.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Serve with your favorite nacho toppings.

Steps:

• Salsa:
• Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Set aside and allow the flavors to marry.
• Filling:
• In a medium-sized saute pan over medium-high heat, add half of the olive oil. Cook both the ground beef and turkey sausage until cooked through, then remove them from the pan to a plate. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and saute the onion until it turns opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer while preventing it from burning. Return the meat mixture to the pan. Combine the ingredients well and set the filling aside.
• Toppings:
• Combine the ricotta cheese and sour cream in a small food processor or blender. Mix well and pour it into a resealable bag.
• Prepare the remaining toppings and hold until you are ready to assemble the nachos.
• Chips: In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Carefully lower the wonton wrappers into the oil, in batches, since they cook extremely fast. As soon as they puff up, make sure you flip them over. Once they start to brown, remove them to a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle them with salt as soon as they are out of the oil.
• Nachos:
• Preheat the oven to a low broil and position a rack approximately 9 inches below the burner.
• In a large oven-safe dish, arrange a layer of chips, a layer of meat mixture, (reheat if necessary), and sprinkle everything with some mozzarella. Repeat this action with the second half of the ingredients, and again finish with the cheese. Put the dish under the broiler until the cheese has melted, (keep a close eye on this). Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the salami, fresh herbs and salsa. Take the bag holding the ricotta/sour cream mixture, and create an instant pastry tip by cutting a hole in the corner of the bag. Drizzle the sauce over your nachos, sprinkle with the green onions and pepperoncini, if using, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a 12 inch skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the garlic and white parts of the green onions in canola oil until tender. Mix in shredded chicken, salt and pepper. Toss until well coated with oil. Stir in the salsa.
• Arrange tortilla chips on a large baking sheet. Spoon the chicken mixture over tortilla chips. Top with Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese blend and tomato. Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onion tops before serving.

Steps:

• For the nachos: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Brush the slices with the olive oil. Toast until crisp on the outside but still slightly tender on the inside, 6 to 8 minutes.
• On an ovensafe platter or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, alternate layers of baguette slices, shredded Italian cheese blend, chopped cured meats, beans and pearl mozzarella, ending with a layer of shredded cheese. Bake until the shredded cheese is melted,10 to 12 minutes.
• For the salsa: While the nachos are baking, in a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
• For the crema: In a small bowl, whisk together the fig jam (or honey) and balsamic vinegar. Add the sour cream and salt and pepper to taste and whisk until completely blended. Transfer to a ziptop bag and store in the fridge until ready to use.
• For the toppings: Top the nachos with the giardiniera, pepperoncini, black olives and salsa. Slice the corner of the ziptop bag with the crema and drizzle it over the nachos. Finish with more chopped basil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the first five ingredients over medium heat until beef is no longer pink; drain. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. , Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
