Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

For the Blackened Chicken:

  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, combine all the spices
  • toss in chicken strips and coat liberally with the spices
  • 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'
  • In a medium sauce pan, cook the alfredo sauce over medium/low heat
  • once the sauce is heated through, add in cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and basil.

To assemble the nachos:

  • in a large skillet, place a generous layer of chips (be sure you spray the skillet first if it isn't non-stick!)
  • add a layer of the chicken, topped with sauce, and then sprinkled with shredded parmesan.
  • continue to add layers, in a pyramid form, getting smaller as you add layers. I did three layers.
  • cook on the stovetop until the chips begin to brown and the cheese is slightly melty.
  • top with extra basil and chopped tomatoes.
  • Enjoy!
