Need to whip up the BEST EVER nachos for a crowd with minimal effort? THIS IS IT! Fully loaded and so so good.
This is one of my favorite Damn Delicious recipes for a few reasons. For starters, it’s nachos. And who doesn’t love a giant sheet pan of cheesy, fully loaded nachos?
The answer to that is no one.
Secondly, this recipe is so easy. Too easy, really. There’s no searing, no browning. Nope. You dump, you set, you go.
And my last reason is the leftover chicken. The recipe only requires 2 cups of the shredded chicken so the rest is saved for later use, meaning for tacos, quesadillas, burrito bowls. You name it. I mean, the leftovers may be the best part, really.
When ready to serve, load up with your favorite toppings. A blend of cheeses if you wish, pickled jalapenos, beans, more salsa…it will be utterly fantastic no matter what you choose.
And if you’re not into the chicken breast + thigh combo here, sub in your desired chicken (all breasts or all thighs). It is ALL GOOD.

1. Add chicken, salsa, chicken stock, chili powder and cumin to a 6-qt Instant Pot® and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
