Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
1 small heart romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped, plus more for topping
1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin-cut skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 ounces chili-lime tortilla chips, lightly crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Toss the chicken with the chili powder and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken and cook, flipping, until well browned but not fully cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and top evenly with the cheese. Broil until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.
  • Combine the yogurt and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Stir in the lime zest and a pinch of salt.
  • Divide the salad among plates and top with the chicken and tortilla chips. Drizzle with the lime yogurt and sprinkle with cilantro and pepper.

BAKED CHICKEN NACHOS

This chicken nachos recipe is delicious and so simple. Rotisserie (or leftover) chicken keeps it quick, and the seasonings and splash of lime juice lend fantastic flavor. My husband enjoys this snack so much that he often requests it for dinner! -Gail Cawsey, Geneseo, Illinois
