Keeper Recipe Alert! Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande



Want an appetizer that's real good, just not good but down right delicious? Look no further, from Pillsbury it's Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande! Just a warning, these are addictive! I came across these on a Pillsbury Recipe email update the other day and it sounded too good to pass up, and they were.






The recipe calls for 4 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken, 3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce, 1 bag (18 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips, 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (12 oz), 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 oz). Sort of sounds like Buffalo Wings. I used a Walmart Rotisserie Chicken, Kroger Brand Medium Wing Sauce, Mission Round Tortiia, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella, I was out of Celery so I didn't add any, and Mayfield Crumbled Bleu Cheese. I think chopped Celery or maybe even chopped Green Onions would both work. Even add a sliced Jalapeno Pepper on top for added heat.


To prepare them just Heat your oven to 350°F. and in large bowl, toss chicken and 1/2 cup of the wing sauce to coat. Spray two large (14-inch) pizza pans with cooking spray. Arrange half of the tortilla chips on one pizza pan; top with 2 cups of the chicken and 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat on second pizza pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top each pan with celery and blue cheese; drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce. To serve; slide one pan of nachos off onto other pan to make one large mound of nachos. Serve immediately. I wanted to try a small batch of these so I only made one baking sheet of them. As I said earlier these are delicious! Perfect for those tailgate football gatherings, parties, or even a main meal. Easily made and they are good leftovers; just put them on a plate with a paper towel over them and reheat in the microwave about 30 - 40 seconds. So if your looking for a new snack or appetizer, here it is! Thank you Pillsbury!
