Category: Main Dish, Italian

 Ingredients List

  • 1 bottle Francesco Rinaldi Alfredo Sauce (or your favorite kind)
  • 2 ounces low fat cream cheese
  • tortilla chips (my favorite are On The Border Cantina Thins)
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 large roma tomato, diced
  • ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ~~~~~~~~~~ For the Blackened Chicken ~~~~~~~~~~
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. cumin
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. salt

 Directions

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine all the spices

2. toss in chicken strips and coat liberally with the spices

3. in a medium skillet, cook the chicken with a quarter sized drop of olive oil. You should grill for 3-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and 'blackened'

4. In a medium sauce pan, cook the alfredo sauce over medium/low heat

5. once the sauce is heated through, add in cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and basil.

6. To assemble the nachos:

7. in a large skillet, place a generous layer of chips (be sure you spray the skillet first if it isn't non-stick!)

8. add a layer of the chicken, topped with sauce, and then sprinkled with shredded parmesan.

9. continue to add layers, in a pyramid form, getting smaller as you add layers. I did three layers.

10. cook on the stovetop until the chips begin to brown and the cheese is slightly melty.

11. top with extra basil and chopped tomatoes.

12. Enjoy!
