Chicken Nacho Fries

Ingredients:

  • Frozen French fries (enough for your serving size)
  • Cooked chicken (shredded, approximately 1-2 cups; rotisserie chicken works great)
  • Nacho cheese sauce (about 1 cup, more if desired)
  • Shredded cheese (1 cup, any blend you prefer)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the French Fries:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
    • Place the frozen French fries in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
    • Cook the fries for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the fries. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Heat the Cooked Chicken:
    • Place the shredded cooked chicken in a microwave-safe dish.
    • Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
    • Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is heated thoroughly. You can also heat it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
  3. Warm the Nacho Cheese Sauce:
    • Pour the nacho cheese sauce into a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheese sauce is hot and smooth. You can also heat it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently until it reaches the desired temperature.
  4. Assemble the Dish:
    • Place the cooked French fries on a large serving platter or individual plates.
    • Spread the heated chicken evenly over the top of the fries.
    • Drizzle the warm nacho cheese sauce generously over the chicken and fries.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the dish. The heat from the fries, chicken, and nacho cheese sauce will melt the shredded cheese.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve immediately while hot.
    • Optionally, you can add additional toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, or sour cream for extra flavor.

Notes:

  • This recipe is highly customizable. Feel free to use different types of cheese, add extra toppings, or adjust the quantities based on your preference.
  • If you have leftover chicken, it works perfectly for this dish. You can also make your own shredded chicken if you prefer.
  • The dish is toddler-approved and a great way to get picky eaters to enjoy a hearty meal!

Enjoy your Chicken Nacho Fries!
