A deliciously cheesy Loaded Bacon Ranch Chicken Nachos Skillet, perfect for game day and gatherings, featuring layers of chicken, cheese, and toppings over crunchy tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Chicken: Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Season the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the top and stir to coat the chicken evenly. This will infuse the dish with a creamy, tangy ranch flavor.
  3. Layer the Nachos: Reduce the heat to low and begin layering the tortilla chips over the seasoned chicken in the skillet. Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños over the chips.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt and the flavors meld together, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the ranch dressing over the top. Finish the dish by sprinkling the sliced green onions as a fresh, flavorful garnish. Serve this Loaded Bacon Ranch Chicken Nachos Skillet piping hot, allowing everyone to dig in and enjoy.

Notes
