Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  2. 4 pita breads, cut into triangles
  3. 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  4. 1/2 cup olives, sliced
  5. 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  6. 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your pita chips get nice and crispy.
  2. Prepare the pita bread by cutting each pita into triangles. You can do this by cutting each pita in half, then cutting each half into three or four triangles, depending on your desired size.
  3. Spread the pita triangles evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking. You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  4. Lightly brush the pita triangles with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven. You can also sprinkle a pinch of salt and some dried oregano for added flavor.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pita triangles for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. While the pita is baking, prepare the toppings. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
  7. Once the pita chips are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Then, spread the chicken and topping mixture evenly over the baked pita chips.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted and everything is heated through.
  9. Once the nachos are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top for a refreshing touch.
  10. Serve the Greek styled pita chicken nachos warm, garnished with extra feta cheese or olives if desired. Enjoy your delicious and unique twist on nachos!

Tips

  1. For extra crispy pita chips, make sure to cut them into uniform triangles and don't overcrowd the baking sheet.
  2. Use high-quality feta cheese for the most authentic Greek flavor.
  3. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken to speed up preparation.
  4. Customize your nachos by adding additional toppings like diced cucumbers or a sprinkle of dried herbs.
  5. For a spicier version, add a dash of red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
  6. Serve immediately after baking to maintain the perfect crisp-to-soft ratio of the pita chips.
  7. Prep your ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
