1
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Queso
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the white queso cheese until it is melted and smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. If the queso is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

3
Layer the Tortilla Chips
On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
4
Add the Chicken and Queso
Evenly distribute the diced grilled chicken over the tortilla chips. Pour the warm white queso cheese over the top, ensuring all chips are covered.
5
Top with Pico de Gallo and Jalapeño Ranch
Add the pico de gallo on top of the nachos, followed by a generous drizzle of jalapeño ranch dressing.

6
Serve Immediately
Serve the chicken nachos immediately while warm, along with extra jalapeño ranch on the side if desired.
