Sweet & Smoky Chicken Nachos

By Mitten Chips KitchenUpdated May 2026

Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips bring a unique twist to chicken nachos. The smoky-sweet chip base makes these unforgettable.

Prep Time20 min
Servings6

These start the way most good things do in our kitchen: a bag of Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips open on the counter. That oak-smoked sweet pepper meets BBQ chicken halfway, so the smoke reads deeper and the sweetness keeps the whole tray from tasting one-note. Most nacho chips go limp once the cheese hits. Ours hold their flaky crunch through the bake and still snap when you scoop a loaded one off the pan.

Step by Step

Let's Make Magic

1

Prep the Chicken

Toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated. The sweet smoky chips will amplify this flavor.

A little BBQ goes a long way, you can always drizzle more at the end
2

Build Layers

Spread Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips on a sheet pan. Layer with BBQ chicken, corn kernels, red onion, and pepper jack cheese.

Two thin layers beat one thick layer for better cheese distribution
3

Bake

Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Watch the edges, the sweet chips can caramelize faster than regular chips
4

Finish & Serve

Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, top with cilantro and sour cream. The smoky-sweet flavor combination is addictive.

A drizzle of ranch also works beautifully alongside the BBQ
