Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 white onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 serrano chile pepper (1/2 minced, 1/2 sliced)
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Grated zest of 1 lime, plus the juice of 2 limes
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1/2 mango, diced
1 beefsteak tomato, diced
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
1 8-ounce bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
3 5-ounce bags plantain chips
1 8-ounce container guacamole

Steps:

  • Make the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/2 cup onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in the minced serrano, chile powder and zest and juice of 1 lime; stir 30 seconds. Stir in the chicken broth and chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the mango salsa: Combine the mango, sliced serrano, reserved 1/2 cup diced onion, the tomato, cilantro, the juice of the remaining lime and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until foaming, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until smooth.
  • Reheat the chicken mixture, if necessary. Arrange the plantain chips on a platter. Top with half of the cheese sauce, the chicken, remaining cheese sauce, guacamole and mango salsa.

I love how these nachos are a healthier alternative to traditional nachos. The plantain chips are a good source of fiber and the spicy chicken is lean and protein-packed. I feel good about eating these nachos.

These nachos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken from my Sunday roast chicken dinner, and these nachos are the perfect way to use it up. They're also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.
