Buffalo Chicken Nachos & Blue Cheese Sauce
I... love buffalo chicken. I love it so much that I think I have a well rounded plethora of things I've made in the past. Even so much that I decided I had to take a break from it for a while before I burned every (including myself) out on it.
Being as it's been a hot minute since I've done anything with buffalo flavors, and it's been on my mind a lot, I thought it was time to go and get myself a shiny new bottle of the old favorite. Since I've done my fair share with buffalo sauce in the past, I knew this time around I wanted to do something a bit different. Nachos. ...With - wait for it - ... ... bleu cheese sauce.
Blue? Bleu? I've decided I'm just going to cycle through the two.
So, these nachos are starting off with a base of blue corn chips. Why? Well... they've got a slightly different taste to them and they really make the orange of the buffalo chicken pop with the contrast in bold colors.
Over the chips, I shredded some cooked chicken breast and mixed that together with the buffalo sauce. Then... there's the blue cheese sauce, instead of a 'nacho cheese'. The bleu cheese sauce is ooey-gooey deliciousness that you won't want to miss out on. The sharp taste of the blue cheese is cooling to the spice for the buffalo.
(Insert Homer Simpson drool face here.)
These nachos are magical. I thought perhaps that my mouth might be a little upset since my eyes were seeing nachos and my mouth tasting buffalo chicken, but I'm happy to say, that wasn't the case.
I used some quick cooked chicken breast that I tossed in the instant pot for these nachos. But, really any cooked chicken will work; shredded, diced, chopped, whatever!
