Instructions

While potatoes are cooking prepare your chicken (or corned beef). If making chicken, pour 1 cup water into bottom of Instant Pot. Place a trivet in the bottom of the pot. Place chicken breasts on top of the trivet. Salt and pepper the chicken. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 15 minutes for fresh chicken breasts or 18 minutes for frozen chicken breasts. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, bake the frozen potatoes according to package directions on a baking sheet.
Slice or shred up the chicken on a cutting board. Remove trivet and water out of Instant Pot. Place chicken into Instant Pot liner. Stir in the BBQ sauce (amount according to taste).
Once potatoes are done cooking sprinkle them with cheeses, bacon and chicken or corned beef. Place in the oven and cook at 425° F for about 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Sprinkle the nachos with the peppers, tomatoes and green onions. Spoon sour cream into a plastic baggie and trim off a corner with scissors. Drizzle the sour cream over the nachos.
Eat immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you use the corned beef instead of chicken serve without the BBQ sauce. Other choices for meat are grilled steak, chopped rotisserie chicken, chopped pastrami, chopped ham, etc.

If you use seasoned fries or potato wedges there is no need for extra salt but if your potatoes are unseasoned you may want to sprinkle a bit of salt on the fries.
