  • 3 Large Boneless Chicken Breasts about 1.5 pounds of chicken
  • 1 12 oz. bottle of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Sweet Potato Chips

  • 4-5 Sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt to taste

Nachos

  • Sweet Potato Chips
  • Buffalo Chicken shredded
  • 1/2 cup Tomato diced
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Blue Cheese crumbles
  • 1 Poblano Pepper sliced
  • 1/2 Avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Scallions chopped

Instructions
 

Buffalo Chicken

  • Place the chicken breasts into a slow cooker
  • In a bowl, mix together the buffalo sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt
  • Pour mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours
  • When chicken is done cooking, turn off the slow cooker and take the chicken out and place onto a cutting board
  • Use two forks to pull the chicken apart to shred
  • Place shredded chicken back into the slow cooker to mix with the buffalo sauce until ready to put on top of the nachos

Sweet Potato Chips

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt
  • Using a mandolin slicer, cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices (the thinner they are, the crispier they will be)- If you do not have a mandolin slicer, you can use your knife but will take a lot longer and will not be as precise
  • Once the sweet potatoes are thinly sliced, toss them with the olive oil and salt in a bowl
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top, if you are using one
  • Place each sweet potato slice onto the baking rack, making sure not to stack them
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until crispy

Nachos

  • Once the buffalo chicken and sweet potato chips are done cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Place the sweet potato chips onto a greased baking sheet
  • Top the sweet potato chips with the buffalo chicken, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, and poblano pepper, distributing the ingredients evenly across the chips
  • Bake for about 5-6 minutes, until the cheese is melted
  • When done cooking, take the nachos out of the oven and top with avocado, cilantro, and scallions
  • Serve and enjoy!
