Steps:
- For the chicken and salsa: Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Bake the chicken nuggets according to the oven method on the package directions. Set aside.

GRILLED CHICKEN NACHOS WITH LIME CREMA
Marinated and grilled chicken breast and a blend of Mexican cheese nachos topped with lime crema and cilantro. I created this dish to pair with Vermentino wine which is customarily served with seafood. The pair worked really well and I had many requests for the nacho recipe. I kind of just did it, so use this as a guideline and make it your own!
