Great for game time, party time or simple snack time.
2 Tbsp taco seasoning
2 Tbsp chili powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup olive oil
8 oz tomato sauce
A few dashes hot sauce
1 large bag tortilla chips
3 cups grated Cheddar-Jack (approximately - you may need more or less)
¼ cup jarred jalapeno slices
¼ cup chopped, pitted black olives
3 tomatoes, finely chopped
3 green onions, green and white parts, finely chopped
¼ cup sour cream
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and chili powder all over the chicken breasts.
2. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side, then remove from the skillet and set aside. To the skillet, add the tomato sauce, hot sauce and 2 cups hot water and bring to a gentle boil.
3. Shred the chicken with 2 forks, then return the shredded chicken to the liquid and simmer on low until everything is hot and bubbly.
4. Assemble the nachos in 2 ways: Sprinkle a layer of tortilla chips onto 2 ovenproof plates or baking dishes. Sprinkle both with cheese and then a layer of chicken; repeat twice more with each layer getting smaller in circumference. Finish with an extra sprinkling of cheese. Bake just until the cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Serve one dish as is. On the other, layer on the jalapenos, black olives, tomatoes, green onions and sour cream.
