Ingredients

Scale

10 oz tortilla chips
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)
¼ cup chopped green onions
½ cup sour cream
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them on one side of the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces and mixing it with half of the BBQ sauce.
Spread tortilla chips evenly on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle remaining BBQ sauce over the chips, then sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Top with jalapeños, green onions, sour cream, and cilantro if desired before serving.
