Can I cook this nacho recipe with frozen chicken?

Yes you can! It will just alter the cooking time. Instead of 3.5 hours on high, you will need to cook it for 6 hours on high! Shred the chicken after 6 hours. You should be able to move onto the broiler part of the recipe at this point.

How can I cook this recipe in the Instant Pot?

Absolutely! Instead of using a slow cooker, place all the ingredients in the base of an Instant Pot. Mix and place top over top, and seal. Make sure valve is set to ‘Seal’. Set manual pressure to 24 minutes. Once cook time has elapsed, manually release the pressure carefully. Shred the chicken with two forks and mix thoroughly. Top chips with the mixture and continue with Step 5 of the recipe card below. So easy to adapt this recipe!

Ingredients for our Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken Nachos:

• Cream of Chicken Soup
• Black Beans
• Rotel
• Cheddar Cheese
• Chicken
• Diced Chiles
• Corn

How to make our Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken Nachos:

First, open all canned good. Drain and rinse the black beans and the corn. Next, place all ingredients in a crockpot or slow cooker: raw chicken, drained corn and black beans, Rotel, Green Chiles and both cream of chicken soups.

Stir so all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together. Cook on high for 3 hours. After the 3 hours have passed, use two forks to shred the chicken. Stir and cook for another 30 minutes.

Turn the broiler on in the oven to 550 F. Place an even layer of tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Next, spoon out the shredded chicken mixture evenly on top of the chips. Last, sprinkle 1-2 cups of shredded cheese all over.

Place the cooking sheet under the broiler and cook for 1-2 minutes. DON’T WALK AWAY!!! Broilers can heat differently and you don’t want to burn this dish. This step is just for melting the cheese so that is why it takes less than 2 minutes. Once cheese is melted, remove from oven and serve!
