Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup chicken broth

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 cup salsa (mild or spicy based on preference)

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

1 bag tortilla chips

Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (for serving)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly on top, then pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

    Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crockpot. Stir in the black beans, corn, and salsa, mixing everything together.

      Layer the Nachos: In a large baking dish or oven-safe platter, spread half of the tortilla chips as the bottom layer. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the chips and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining chips, chicken mixture, and top generously with the rest of the cheese.

        Melt the Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the nacho stack for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

          Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the nachos from the oven. Top with sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, and serve with dollops of sour cream and avocado slices on the side. Enjoy your delicious Crockpot Taco Chicken Nachos!
