Taco Chicken Nachos


For additional convenience, cut up 1/2 pound chicken from the deli section of your local supermarket instead of cooking your own.
 
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1 can (4 ounces) chopped mild green chiles, drained
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 bag (8 ounces) baked fat-free tortilla chips
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato
1/4 cup pitted ripe olive slices (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
   
1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in small saucepan. Add chicken. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from saucepan; cool. Chop chicken.
2. Combine taco seasoning mix and oil in small bowl; mix until smooth paste forms. Stir in sour cream. Add chicken, green chilies and onion; mix lightly.
3. Preheat broiler. Arrange tortilla chips on small ovenproof plates or large platter. Cover chips with chicken mixture and cheese. Broil 4 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken mixture is hot and cheese is melted. Sprinkle evenly with tomato, olives and cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.
