Categories     main-dish

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.

Categories     Mexican

Time 12m

Yield 8 cups, 128 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces refried beans
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 cup guacamole
8 ounces sour cream
4 1/4 ounces olives, chopped, ripe and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 1/2 ounces green chilies, chopped and drained
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded

  • Layer dip and remaining ingredients in order listed.
  • Serve with corn chips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dip will taste. Use ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, and crisp tortilla chips.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in the dip, so use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or a Mexican blend are both good options.
  • Layer the dip correctly: The order of the layers is important. Start with the chicken, then the beans, corn, and tomatoes. Top it off with the cheese and sour cream.
  • Serve the dip warm: The dip is best served warm, so make it just before you're ready to serve it. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave if you need to.

Conclusion:

Layered chicken nacho dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
