Time 33m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
4 cups coarsely grated pepper jack
1 teaspoon prepared mustard or whole-grain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked
1 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
8 cups tortilla chips (about 1 large bag)
1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream or nonfat Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for 3 minutes, and then sprinkle in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently, until you create a blond roux, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, cheese and mustard and use a whisk to stir all together. Season with salt and pepper and let cook for 5 minutes on low.
  • For the nachos: Shred the chicken and place into a medium bowl. Pour in the barbecue sauce and mix well to combine. Arrange the tortilla chips on a platter and spread the chicken over the chips. Pour the warm cheese sauce over the top and sprinkle with the jalapenos and cilantro. Garnish with dollops of the sour cream.
