1
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding.
2
Prepare the Queso
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the white queso cheese until it is melted and smooth. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
3
Chop the Chicken
Once the grilled chicken has rested, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
4
Prepare the Vegetables
Rinse the shredded lettuce and set aside. If using fresh jalapeños, slice them into rings.

5
Layer the Nachos
On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly. Top with shredded grilled chicken, followed by the melted white queso cheese.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the top. Add dollops of salsa, jalapeños, and sour cream on top of the nachos.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey. Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken nachos!
