BAKED CHICKEN NACHOS

Baked Chicken Nachos image

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
