Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

4 whole  Chicken Breasts
2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
Salt As Needed
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 can (8 Ounces) Tomato Sauce
2 cups Hot Water
Hot Sauce
Tortilla Chips
Cheddar Jack Cheese
Optional: Pico De Gallo, Sour Cream, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Onions, Cilantro, Guacamole

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the taco seasoning and chili powder. Rub in the seasoning as much as you can.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts on both sides until deep golden and totally done in the middle, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Whisk in the tomato sauce and the hot water (plus the hot sauce) and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm. Taste and adjust seasonings.
4. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and transfer the shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss to coat it in the sauce and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
5. To build the nachos, build several layers of chips, cheese, and chicken, ending with a small layer on top. Microwave the dish (or put it in a 350 degree oven) until the cheese is melted.
6. Serve as is or add whatever extras you'd like!

Finished!
