Chicken Marinade

Nacho Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred it using two forks and set aside.

Assembling the Nachos

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a large baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and the shredded chicken.

  2. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and drizzle sour cream over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
