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:

1. Mix the spices (not basil) and toss the chicken strips in the spices.
2. 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".
3. Heat alfredo sauce through in a medium-sized saucepan over medium low heat. Then add cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and basil.
4. 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.
5. Cook on stovetop or broil until chips begin to brown and cheese melts.
6. Garnish with diced tomato and more basil, if you want.
