Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding.

Assemble the Nachos

In a large baking dish, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Top with shredded grilled chicken, pimento cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add sliced jalapeños on top.

Bake the Nachos

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the nachos for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheeses melt and are bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro and a drizzle of sour cream. Serve immediately.
