Equipment

• Pressure Cooker

• Large Baking Sheet

• Parchment Paper

• Hand Mixer (for shredding chicken)

Ingredients

BBQ Chicken

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 ½ to 2 pounds chicken breast

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 cup barbecue sauce (Stubb’s Original recommended)

• ⅓ to ½ cup water

Nachos

• 18 oz bag Cantina Style Tortilla Chips

• 16 oz bag Fiesta Style Cheese, finely shredded

Toppings

• 1 bag Taylor Farms Smoky Ranch Salad Kit

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Cook the chicken: Add olive oil to the pressure cooker and place chicken inside. Pour water over the chicken, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then pour BBQ sauce on top—no stirring needed.

3. Pressure cook: Place the lid on the cooker, turn vent to Sealing, and pressure cook for 10 minutes.

4. Prep the nachos: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Layer tortilla chips, then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese.

5. Release pressure: When the pressure cooker beeps, allow a 10-minute natural release, then quick release any remaining pressure.

6. Shred the chicken: Remove lid, shred chicken using a hand mixer, and add extra BBQ sauce if desired.

7. Melt the cheese: Place nachos in the oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

8. Assemble: Remove nachos from oven and top with shredded chicken, additional BBQ sauce, and the Smoky Ranch Salad Kit.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

• Make it spicier: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce over the top.

• Cheese swap: Use a Mexican blend or sharp cheddar for extra flavor.

• Make-ahead: Cook and shred the chicken a day ahead, then assemble nachos just before baking.

• Crispier nachos: Broil the nachos for 1–2 minutes after baking for extra crispiness.

Variations

• Buffalo Chicken Nachos: Swap BBQ sauce for buffalo wing sauce and top with blue cheese crumbles.

• Vegetarian Nachos: Replace chicken with black beans or BBQ jackfruit.

• Loaded Nachos: Add corn, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices for extra texture and flavor.
