BBQ Chicken Nachos

Sharing is caring!

These shredded chicken nachos is all you need for a small get together! I love homemade shredded chicken and nothing beats homemade barbeque sauce. I simmered the chicken in the sauce and then I topped it all off with lots of cheddar! Yum. Some cheeseburger sliders would be an awesome idea to serve alongside. This recipe gets me in a very festive mode. I can’t wait to make these again.
