Description
BBQ Chicken and Grilled Pineapple Nachos offer a delightful twist on traditional nachos, combining savory BBQ chicken with sweet grilled pineapple for a flavorful snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup tangy BBQ sauce
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 bag (12 ounces) corn tortilla chips
- 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Start by heating your grill to a medium temperature. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the tangy BBQ sauce, ensuring every piece is well coated. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
- Drizzle the fresh pineapple chunks with avocado oil and place them on the grill. Grill for about 3-5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they develop a nice caramelized exterior. Once done, take them off the grill and set aside.
- On a large oven-safe platter, arrange the corn tortilla chips in a single layer, creating a solid base for your nachos.
- Generously spoon the BBQ chicken mixture over the chips, followed by the grilled pineapple chunks for a sweet and smoky flavor.
- Top everything off with a generous sprinkle of grated Monterey Jack cheese, ensuring it covers the chicken and pineapple evenly.
- Place the platter under the broiler in your oven and broil on high for about 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped scallions and fresh parsley. Add any optional toppings like Greek yogurt or pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Serve hot and indulge in these delightful nachos bursting with flavor!
Notes
- Ensure the grill is preheated to achieve the best caramelization on the pineapple.
- Watch the nachos closely while broiling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeños for desired spiciness.
