Blackened Chicken Alfredo Nachos
What you need:
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips or bite-sized pieces
- 1 jar alfredo sauce
- 2 oz. cream cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Tortilla chips
- 1 to 2 roma tomato, diced
Directions:
- Mix the spices (not basil) and toss the chicken strips in the spices.
- Heat olive oil over medium high heat and add chicken. Top with any remaining spice mix and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through and "blackened".
- Heat alfredo sauce through in a medium-sized saucepan over medium low heat. Then add cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and basil.
- Assemble nachos by adding a large layer of chips into a greased large skillet or casserole dish. Top with a layer of chicken, some sauce, and some of the remaining cheese. Repeat the layers.
- Cook on stovetop or broil until chips begin to brown and cheese melts.
- Garnish with diced tomato and more basil, if you want.
