Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce until well-coated. Adjust the amount of sauce according to your heat preference.

            Bake: Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Finish with Toppings: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese (if using), green onions, diced tomatoes, and black olives over the nachos.

                Serve: Drizzle sour cream and ranch dressing over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the deliciousness!
