Healthier Nachos (Grain-Free and Dairy-Free)
Recipe Key:
These chicken nachos are my go-to appetizer when I’m having guests over and every time I serve them I get asked for the recipe because they’re so darn good! Made with flavorful spiced up chicken, the perfect amount of melted cheese, and all of the necessary toppings, they’re hard to pass up!
You know that saying, “you’re never fully dressed without a smile”? I’m thinking nachos aren’t fully dressed without guac and queso, do we agree?? I’m talking a pile of guacamole in the center and nacho cheese splattered all over the place. Those are the type of nachos I am talking about.
There is something about finding the perfect chip among the bunch. Equal parts peppers, chicken, guac, and queso. There are only a few of these in the pile so you have to grab them pretty quick. Let’s just say sharing a platter of nachos can really test a friendship. I recommend that you avoid it when possible.

How to make Chicken Nachos
Step 1 : Season and cook the chicken. Toss the chicken thighs with lime juice and taco seasonings. Cook the chicken in a skillet with oil on medium heat until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165F.
Let the chicken rest on a plate for a few minutes and then pull it into large shreds. I like to do this in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment which easily pulls chicken into pieces in just a few minutes.
Step 2 : Assemble the nachos. On a large baking sheet, spread out a thin layer of chips along the bottom. Then top with ½ of the chicken and ½ of the cheese. Assemble another layer of chips on top followed buy the rest of the chicken and cheese. Make sure to get the edges of the pan as well so everything isn’t condensed in the middle.
Step 3 : Bake! Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 6 - 8 minutes until the cheese is melted. I like to turn it up to broil for a minute or so to get the chips nice and crispy.
Step 4 : Add toppings. While the nachos are warm, top with guacamole, jalapeños, and cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
Healthy Nachos Recipe Variations
- Add more black beans or pinto beans for extra protein
- Toss the cooked pulled chicken in bbq sauce for bbq-style nachos
- Add green chilis and extra chopped jalapeños for a spicier kick
- For a veggie-forward nachos, add roasted red peppers, chopped tomatoes, corn, red onion, etc.
How to serve these Healthy Nachos
The best way to enjoy nachos is straight from the pan! If serving this to guests, place some appetizer plates next to the pan and allow people to grab a few loaded chips themselves. Napkins are always necessary!
Toppings for Chicken Tacos
My go-to nacho toppings are guacamole, or mashed avocado, jalapeños, and cilantro. Here are a few other options:
- A dollop of greek yogurt. You can also use sour cream
- Pico de gallo
- Green chilies
- Black beans
- Corn
- Lettuce
- Bell peppers
Storing these Healthier Nachos
I do not recommend storing these nachos after a few hours. The chips will get soft and soggy after a while so they are best enjoyed fresh. If the nachos become a little cold, you can always pop them in the oven and broil for 1 - 2 minutes to make the chips crispy again.
