Easy Chicken Nachos

"We used to go to a restaurant that had the best Chicken Nachos so I came up with my own version. Whenever I make them I cover the coffee table and we gather around and eat there, out of the pan, with bowls of various dipping items. This is a meal for our family. One of my kid's favorites."

  1. This recipe was great! I've made it several times recently and everyone wants the recipe. I used chipotle flavored taco seasoning and the Sargento Bistro Cheddar Salsa cheese. I followed the rest of the recipe and it was excellent and easy. Thanks for the recipe
     
  2. This was a very enjoyable family friendly meal. I did not have anything out to add after it cooked, but put everything in the layers to go in the oven. One of my bean dips had jalopenas in it, so I did not add anymore chilies, and I used the olives sparingly, as some in my family like them and some not so much. Maybe that would have been a good add-on item. Thanks for an easy dinner both to fix and to clean up - only one pan and one casserole dish.
