CHICKEN NACHOS (SPICY)

Steps:

• Pour the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat on medium heat for 2 minutes or until pan is warm.
• Add Chicken breasts to pan and add salt and pepper to your taste, cook chicken thoroughly so there is no pink in the middle of the breast.
• Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and cut the breasts into very small chunks.
• Optional Step: Once they are in small chunks if you want a better appearances, take to forks and stick the tines of one fork into the the other fork so they form an X shape over each piece of chicken and then spread the forks apart, this should basically'shred' the chicken into tiny little strips.
• Once your chicken is cut/shredded place the chicken back into the frying pan (still on medium) and let it warm again, once the pan is warm stir in the package of taco seasoning with 2/3 cups of water (as directed by the package).
• If you like hot nachos, put in some cayenne pepper (to taste) as well, careful though, it gets spicy quick.
• While the excess water is boiling off of the pan layer a cookie sheet with Tostitos (I also put a layer of aluminum foil under the chips so that all the extra melted cheese doesn't stick to the pan and create a huge hassle to clean later).
• Once your pan is layered with chips, spread half the bag of chedder cheese onto the chips.
• Now take the chicken out of the pan and layer it over the chips evenly.
• Next put the rest of the bag of cheese over the nachos.
• Now place this in the oven for up to 10 minutes, it might take less, just take it out when the cheese is melted.
• Now feel free to add whatever you like to your nachos, in my case it is all the ingredients above that are listed as optional, this should make a great appetizer or even a full meal, kids seem to love it.
