Easy Instant Pot Barbecue Chicken Nachos with a Tangy Coleslaw Salad

The best twist on classic nachos–Barbecue Chicken Nachos!! You will want to make these all the time…we sure do! They make a great appetizer when entertaining guests, for game days, and honestly, this is such a fun meal for dinner! Plus they are SO easy. I love a quick, crowd pleaser recipe 🙂

No Instant Pot…No Problem!

I recommend making the chicken in a multi-cooker like the Instant Pot if you have one. This is probably the easiest way to get pulled chicken.

If you don’t have a multi-cooker or want to save some time you can use pulled rotisserie chicken.


Rotisserie Chicken: Saute sliced onions in a large saute pan for 4-6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and barbecue sauce to pan. Simmer until chicken is heated through. Add salt if needed.

You can also use chicken breast tenders for this recipe.

Chicken Breast Tenders: Saute sliced onions in a large saute pan for 4-6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add chicken tenders to pan and sear until golden brown on both sides. Then add barbecue sauce and cook covered until chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and shred the chicken.

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic crushed or grated
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 3 scallions (green and white parts) finely chopped

Instructions

BBQ Chicken Nachos

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Turn multi-cooker (Instant Pot) to Saute mode and coat the bottom of the liner with oil (1-2 tbsp).
  • When hot add sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Turn off Saute mode.

  • Serve with coleslaw and your favorite toppings!

Coleslaw

  • In a large bowl mix together ingredients for coleslaw dressing.
  • Add slaw mix or shredded cabbage and set aside until nachos are ready to serve.

Some Quick Notes…

Feel free to adjust this recipe to your taste! Use a barbecue sauce that you really love. It can be store-bought or homemade! If you want a little heat to this chicken I recommend adding 1 chopped chipotle in adobo to the barbecue sauce or a 1/2 teaspoon or so of cayenne pepper.

I highly recommend trying this coleslaw! It’s a little healthier than your typical slaw and it works so well with these nachos! It’s like eating a pulled barbecue chicken sandwich with the fixins’.

The slaw is my version of salad at dinner 😉 but if you aren’t a fan of slaw then use sour cream for that touch of creaminess.

I bet you didn't know that I'm from a small town i I bet you didn't know that I'm from a small town in Indiana very close to Louisville, where the Big Race 🏇 is held! I thought it was the coolest thing for my parents to go to the race because well South Asian parents just don't do things like that! My dad talked about drinking mint juleps and mom got to wear a cute flowery dress and my eyes just beamed with excitement for them. I've still never been to the race, but I've had my fair share of mint juleps 😉 #ad Kentucky artisan @jeffersonsbourbon makes a mean mint julep, and I don't need to leave Chicago to taste all the fun! Grab the ingredients for these Maple Blueberry Mint Juleps at @jewelosco for your own celebrations! 1 cup fresh blueberries 2 tbsp maple syrup Jefferson's Bourbon 15-20 fresh mint leaves makes 4-5 servings Simmer blueberries and maple syrup in a small pot just until blueberries start to burst. Set aside. Muddle a few leaves of mint in the bottom of a cocktail glass. Add ice, a spoonful of blueberry maple syrup, 2 oz. of bourbon, and 2 oz. of soda water. Stir and garnish with more mint. Enjoy responsibly! @ghmumm champagne will be hosting a virtual 🏇party tomorrow (4/29) at 5pm CST. Join for plenty of bubbly, demos, and giveaways! Jefferson’s is available at Jewel-Osco, Binny’s or Mariano’s. . . . #fiveoclocksomewhere #mintjuleps #blueberryrecipes #summereats #drinksathome #cocktailhour #bourbondrinks #jeffersonsbourbon #kentuckybourbon #derbydrinks #kentuckyderby #drinkrecipes #imbibegram #bourbongram #drinkphotography #desiinfluencers #southasianblogger #browngirlblogger #momswhoblog #chicagofoodanddrink #chicagofoodbloggers #chicagomomblogger #momjuice #summertimechi #drinksofinstagram
✨Dreaming of Brighter Days✨ April 18-24 is Na ✨Dreaming of Brighter Days✨ April 18-24 is National Infertility Awareness Week and for many of us that means one more week of navigating how to get pregnant. For those of us struggling with infertility it's more than planning a sexy date night with our partner mid-cycle....it's waiting for doctor consults, countless ultrasounds and blood draws, dealing with insurance companies or paying thousands of dollars out of pocket, making sure to inject the right med at the right time, OHSS, embryo testing, anxiety of failed transfers or miscarriages, and MUCH more. Many of you know that over the last 20 months I've been living my own IVF journey. As a pharmacist I completely believe in the science of everything IVF, but after 4 losses (natural + IVF) and putting my body through hormone hell it's easy to want to give up. Some days I feel like I've hit rock bottom and that there is no light at the end of this deep dark tunnel, but then I think about those of you going through your own experiences. That is what nudges me to keep going. That one more person is here with me and understands. That there is a chance of success. Plus there's a little birdie asking for a baby brother or sister ON THE DAILY. Oh, Shay 🥰 A few months ago I did an interview for a local podcast, Resilience Found, chatting about everything from pregnancy loss to IVF and my mental health. When I listened to the interview I cringed at my own voice (literally the way that I sound), and was embarrassed to share. My worst critic showed up-myself. But today feels like the perfect time to put this on my feed. Whether you listen or not please know that if you are on this crazy rollercoaster that you are NOT ALONE. Let's use this week as a trajectory to empower each other and change the conversation around infertility. #whatIwantyoutoknow . . #nationalinfertilityawarenessweek #infertilityawareness #myfertilityjourney #ivfwarrior #ivfjourney #chicagomoms #ivfsupport #chicagomomblogger #chicagofoodbloggers #recipeblogger #southasianfood #desimoms #indianfoodblogger #desiinfluencers #foodinfluencer #quickandeasyfood #momswhohustle #momswhocook #homecookingisthebest

"A women in any form shall be celebrated and honor "A women in any form shall be celebrated and honored, be it a sister, a wife, or a mother..." Since today is International Women's Day I thought I'd list a few of the things that I've done (cool, silly, emotional) in the last 12 months. ▪️I've been fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 for 4 weeks. ▪️I haven't gotten a manicure or pedicure since last February. ▪️The farthest I've traveled is to my parents house 230 miles away, by car. ▪️I've had 2 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVF transfers (1 ectopic, 1 chemical). ▪️I've eaten at a restaurant a total of 4 times since the start of COVID-19 ▪️I was featured in @vogueindia !! ▪️1 week ago I moved to a new home with my family. ▪️I presented on social media and branding as a clinical pharmacist (odd, I know). ▪️I can count on both hands the number of times I've set foot in a grocery store -- @target doesn't count! In such a weird and challenging time I hope we, womxn, continue to bring each other up and are so proud of everything we do...or choose not to do. . . . . #internationalwomensday ##chicagowomen #choosetochallenge #ivfwarrior #iwd2021 #womenequality #womenbloggers #desifoodbloggers #indianwomen #desiinfluencers #browngirlblogger #indianfoodstories #followmyfood #chicagomomblogger #bigcitymoms #momswhohustle #desimoms #indianfusion #recipeblogger #familyfriendlymeals #weeknightmeals #easyfoodrecipes #foodinfluencer #modernmom #livetoeat #healthyisthenewskinny
Just go ahead and save this post because these BBQ Just go ahead and save this post because these BBQ Chicken Nachos are so good, and you NEED to make them ASAP! Such a perfect gameday food, but honestly we eat them for dinner way more than I'd like to admit. Everyone grabs them right off of the tray. Easy Instant Pot BBQ chicken (or just use shredded rotisserie chicken and simmer in your fav sauce), lots of cheese, and ALL THE TOPPINGS! My fave is this creamy crunchy coleslaw "salad" because you know...veggies ;) I promise I will update my site one day, but for now here you go: 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (vegetarian- use jackfruit!) 2 cups sliced yellow onion 1 cup BBQ sauce 8 oz shredded cheese toppings: cilantro, jalapeno, avocado, creamy coleslaw Turn @instantpotofficial to Saute mode. Coat the bottom of the liner with oil (1-2 tbsp). When hot add sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Turn off Saute mode. Add chicken and your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook on high pressure for 12 mins. Release pressure. Add salt if needed, and shred chicken using a fork. Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a large sheetpan layer tortilla chips, shredded BBQ chicken, and cheese. Bake until cheese is melty. (5ish min). Add your fav toppings! Honestly, skip the sour cream and do the slaw!! Skinnier Slaw: 12 oz slaw mix or shredded red cabbage 1/2 cup greek yogurt 1/4 cup mayo 1 tsp dijon mustard 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 clove garlic, crushed or grated 1 tsp salt, or to taste 1/2 tsp sugar 3 scallions chopped (green and white parts) Mix ingredients together for the dressing, and combine w/ slaw mix before serving. @latejulyorganic multigrain chips are the best, and @tillamook shredded cheese!
