This easy chicken nachos recipe is a crowd-pleaser! Loaded with savory chicken, tangy salsa, and gooey cheese, it’s a quick and delicious meal the whole family will love. Top with avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

  • 30ml oil
  • 500g chicken breast, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 80g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 250g tinned corn kernels, drained
  • 200ml tomato salsa
  • 350g plain nachos
  • 250ml cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 15ml lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 120ml sour cream
  • 60ml jalapeño chilies, sliced

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat and cook the chicken strips until done and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the pan.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and cook until soft and starting to caramelize. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Add the chicken to the onion mixture along with the cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and corn.
  • Divide the nachos between four ovenproof serving bowls (or one large dish) and spoon the chicken mixture over the nachos.
  • Spoon over the salsa.
  • Top with the grated cheese.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown (about 12 minutes).
  • Season the avocados with salt and pepper and drizzle over the lime juice.
  • Serve the nachos immediately with the soured cream, avocado and the jalapeño chilies on the side or piled on top.

Oh!!!! I LOVE to add some fresh coriander to this dish just before serving – but if you don’t like coriander – you can leave it out!
