Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to high heat.
- Add the milk to a medium-size pot over medium heat and scald.
- Whisk in the roux and cook until it becomes very thick or nappe, think alfredo sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes while whisking.
- Whisk in the cheese and keep warm over low heat.
- Season the chicken breasts on each side with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a large frying pan over high heat and once it begins to smoke add in the chicken breasts and turn the heat to medium.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and flip over, turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, then flip again and cook for a further 5 minutes or until browned and cooked throughout. Or follow my perfectly cooked chicken breast method of in the oven.
- Large dice the chicken.
- To Layer: Place the corn chips on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and layer on with the asiago cheese sauce, chicken and mozzarella.
- Broil for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browned.
- Finish by adding on tomatoes, olives, peppers and green onions. Serve.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- How to Reheat: These nachos actually will reheat pretty well at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until hot.
- How to Store: Keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- I used my perfectly cooked chicken breast recipe for these nachos.
- If you’d like to save time you can purchase and roughly chop up a precooked rotisserie chicken.
- You can absolutely by pre-sliced olives.
- Other cheese you could use in place of the asiago would be pecorino Romano or Parmesan.
- Other things you can put on are pepperoncini’s, jalapeños, shredded lettuce, avocado or onions.
