Here's everything you need for these rich and creamy chicken nachos. We recommend piling on the toppings, such as black olives, sour cream, green onions, guacamole and salsa.

Let's Get Started… 

Ingredients To Gather:

• 4 whole Boneless, Skinless 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
• Several Dashes Hot Sauce
• Good Tortilla Chips
• Cheddar Jack Cheese, Freshly Grated

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 heavy 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 (may need salt, depending on the taco seasoning you use.)
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 if ovenproof) until the cheese is totally melted.

Finished!

We just love how quick and easy these chicken nachos are. They're perfect for dinner or a snack, and add a festive touch to any meal, gathering or other occasion. This may be our new go-to dish when we want something delicious that doesn't require spending all day in the kitchen!
