Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces tomato sauce
A few dashes hot sauce
1 large bag tortilla chips
3 cups grated Cheddar-Jack (approximately -- you may need more or less)
1/4 cup jarred jalapeno slices
1/4 cup chopped pitted black olives
3 tomatoes, finely chopped
3 green onions, green and white parts, finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and chili powder all over the chicken breasts.
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.
Shred the chicken with 2 forks, then return the shredded chicken to the liquid and simmer on low until everything is hot and bubbly.
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.
Serve one dish as is. On the other, layer on the jalapenos, black olives, tomatoes, green onions and sour cream.

BONNIE'S CHICKEN NUGGETS image

Provided by BonniE !

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast meat or tenders, skin removed
pam butter flavored cooking spray
kosher salt to taste
1 1/2 cups crushed cheese flavored crackers
1/2 cup gulden's spicy brown mustard
3/4 cup strawberry preserves

Steps:

1. Cook's Tip: Serve the Chicken Nuggets with the strawberry/mustard dipping sauce or my red cocktail sauce (on this site) Also good with BBQ sauce.
2. CRUSH THE CRACKERS: Place the cheese flavored crackers in a ziplok bag and crush with a rolling pin until medium fine. Pour into a pie plate.
3. PREHEAT THE OVEN: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
4. PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Wash the chicken breast meat, and cut into uniform 1 inch chunks. Pat dry with a paper towel. Spray the chicken with the cooking spray, and toss until it is coated and then dredge the chicken chunks in the crushed crackers. Toss to coat evenly. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, turning chicken once after 10 minutes. At the end of cooking time, test to make sure chicken is done. At my altitude, it takes 30 minutes for chicken to get light brown and be done. Remove from oven and sprinkle with kosher salt, and serve immediately with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
