Chicken Nachos
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 6 green onions, sliced, white parts and tops separated
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 shredded, cooked, whole chicken breast
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 (12 ounce) package tortilla chips
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 1/2 large tomato, diced
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary components, including the ingredients and equipment required for this dish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), which is the optimal temperature for baking.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep, 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and minced garlic; cook and stir until the onions are just tender, having reached a state of slight softness.
3
Combine the shredded chicken, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss until the chicken is evenly coated with these seasonings. Stir in the salsa to enhance the flavors.
4
Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a large baking sheet, creating a base for the dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over the tortilla chips; top with shredded cheese and diced tomatoes to add texture and flavor.
5
Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted, taking approximately 10 minutes to achieve this. Remove from heat and sprinkle with the green onion tops before serving.
