Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    Use 300 g of already cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast, weighed after cooking. Cut it into small pieces and mix with the barbecue sauce. Keep chilled until assembly; the microwave step reheats cooked chicken.

    5 min

  2. 2

    Mix the chopped tomato, onion, green onion, and salt together.

    5 min

  3. 3

    Divide the chips between four microwave-safe plates in a shallow layer. Divide each topping into four equal portions for the next steps.

    5 min

  4. 4

    Distribute the cooked chicken and barbecue sauce evenly over the four plates of chips.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the tomato, onion, and green onion mixture on top.

  6. 6

    Finally, sprinkle grated cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Microwave each plate separately under a vented microwave-safe cover. Start with 2–3 minutes on high, rotating halfway through. Let it stand covered for 2 minutes, then check several places, including the chicken: they must reach 74°C on a food thermometer. If needed, heat in 30-second bursts and recheck. Repeat for all four plates, allowing one plate to stand while the next heats. Budget about 4 minutes of heating per plate; microwave power and starting temperature affect the time. Serve each plate as soon as it is ready.
