Layering your Italian Nachos
Cook 2 chicken breasts and shred or chop them. We recommend cooking them in a little olive oil with salt and pepper. Now that all of your toppings are prepped, it's time to assemble your nachos! **If prepping your chicken ahead of time, cook as mentioned above. Then, throw it in a container and put it in either the fridge or freezer, depending on when you need it. Heat up your chicken in a microwave prior to using if you prepped ahead.
Divide your crispy won ton chips between the two jelly roll pans. Drizzle the Alfredo sauce over all of the chips. Divide the sauce evenly between the two pans.
Layer the nachos with the remaining toppings saving the cheese as your last layer.
Broil the nachos for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Any frying oil will work. We have used peanut, vegetable, and canola and all have worked great!
