Instructions *** 6-30 20 very good, used some cooked l/o chicken breasts instead of poaching some..... *** Rach Cooks At Home by Rachael Ray 06:00 AM, April 20, 2020 Rach's Homemade BBQ Sauce + shredded chicken = next-level nachos Rach says, "Serve this as nachos on warm tortillas topped with melted cheese, guacamole and sour cream, or as a taco salad on chopped lettuce with salsa, or on soft sandwich rolls with pickles and chopped onions." Pro Tip: Use a few tablespoons olive oil or butter to start—any fat you like, whether it's canola oil, avocado oil, coconut oil or ghee—if you're skipping the bacon. Ingredients For the poached chicken: 1 to 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs About 1 quart water Salt 1 bay leaf 1 onion, halved Parsley stems and or thyme For the barbecue chicken: 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil 4 slices meaty bacon, finely chopped (optional) 1 sweet/mild pepper, such as bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped 1 onion (yellow, white or red), finely chopped 2 small hot chile peppers, such as jalapeño, Serrano or red finger peppers, seeded and finely chopped Salt and black pepper 2 cloves garlic Splash apple cider or wine vinegar 2 to 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce About ½ cup ketchup or tomato sauce About 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons (mild to hot) cayenne pepper sauce (Rach likes Frank's RedHot or Chipotle Tabasco Sauce) About 1 tablespoon pimenton/smoked sweet paprika (add a little ground cumin and coriander if you have it) 1 cup poaching liquid, chicken stock or broth For the nachos: Corn tortilla chips Shredded Jack, Pepper Jack or cheddar or a combination (about 2 cups) Guacamole (jalapeño, onion, garlic, lime, salt, avocado, and optional cilantro), homemade or store-bought, or diced avocado Yield Serves: 4 Preparation For the poached chicken, add chicken, water to cover the top of the chicken, salt, bay, onion and herbs to skillet, bring to low boil, reduce heat and keep to low simmer to cook through, 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, then turn off heat and let stand to cool 10 minutes.
