Steps

1

Season your chicken with salt pepper, and spices of choice. I used thyme and chilli flakes and roast in a preheated oven at 180c for 35 minutes. This can be done in advance. These two legs I cooked the day before for a different dinner idea and then had to many for the meal so saved these two in the fridge for the second day. A great way to use up left over cooked chicken
2

Remove chicken from the bone and shred or cut into bitesize chunks. Finely dice bacon rashers and grate some cheese.
3

Put your grated cheese aside and prep the jalapeños by finely chopping them.
4

Pan fry the bacon pieces until crispy and set aside.
5

Start laying your nachos in a large deep baking dish. First layer - tortilla chips, second layer chicken pieces
6

Third layer - sprinkle on bacon, Fourth layer, add jalapeños, Fifth layer - add cheese.
7

Repeated the layers again and again until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a top layer of cheese. (I made three layers). Pop it in the preheated oven at 180c for 10 minutes to melt the cheese
8

As the nachos cook prepare a side salsa (optional). Start by dicing your tomatoes, then dice your pepper
9

Season well with salt, pepper and chilli flakes and add shredded basil (or any other green herb you prefer). Serve with your naschos. Enjoy
