Are you ready for some football?! Even if you’re not a fan, you’ll love these Sheet Pan Buffalo Chicken Nachos loaded with tender chicken, cheddar and blue cheese, poblano peppers, and celery. They’re perfect for game day snacking and on the table in 30 minutes.
I made these for our 11th annual family football draft last weekend, and let’s just say, they disappeared. Only a few random crumbs dusted the sheet pan by the time the first pick was made.
What’s especially nice about serving these or our Buffalo BBQ Chicken Meatballs in lieu of wings, we don’t have to worry about our pup Colby or his cousin Fergus stealing any bones. No one wants to make an emergency vet visit mid-draft!

Sheet Pan Buffalo Chicken Nachos
These nachos are a breeze to pull together, especially if you use a rotisserie chicken or have leftover grilled chicken on hand. Once the meat is adequately sauced, spread it over the nachos, top with cheddar or your cheese of choice, and the diced poblano. In 15 minutes or less, gooey cheese will envelope the chicken and chips.
Once your pan is out of the oven, get topping! Celery, green onion, blue cheese, and a splattering of ranch dressing made their mark here, along with a few jalapeño slices. I actually had cilantro in the fridge too, but forgot to put it on. Oh well! Anyway, there are no rules; use whatever your gang likes most. Make sure you have your favorite bevvy in hand and get ready to start yelling at the tv. Happy Football Sunday, friends!
