Crockpot Chicken Nachos: FAQs

If you had any questions about this recipe, check this section, and I may have answered them already!

What additions do you recommend?

This recipe for chicken nachos in a slow cooker is highly customizable. Whatever you like on your nachos, in general, will pair great with this recipe. Some examples include…

• Sliced black olives
• Sliced peppers (there are green chilis already in the Rotel, but you may want more…or a different pepper entirely!)
• Diced red onions (I tend to use green, but red onions are also perfect)
• Diced avocado or guacamole
• Refried beans (this works well as a side, too)
• Also, serving the mixture with rice or on top of lettuce always hits the spot!

Remember that you’ll want to add most of these after the chicken is cooked and ready to serve.

I can’t find Rotel! What substitutions do you recommend?

If you can’t find or don’t like Rotel, you can make your own to your liking with diced tomatoes, green chilis, and a taco seasoning or Mexican seasoning mix. Another decent Rotel substitute is tomato puree + taco seasoning or Mexican seasoning mix.

How should I store these crockpot nachos?

They should be fine for 3-4 days refrigerated in an airtight container.

When you want to reheat them, just use the microwave, stovetop, or crockpot in the “warm” setting.

Remember though they are best served immediately.

Can you make these crockpot nachos in advance?

Not the entire meal, but the cooked chicken mixture, yes. Reheat it and serve it on top of the nachos whenever you’re ready.

Can you freeze crockpot chicken nachos?

You can freeze the cooked chicken for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. However, I wouldn’t try freezing the whole meal (nachos and all).
