Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pounds chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons low sodium fajita seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cups baked tortilla chips
- 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add chicken strips to the skillet and season with low sodium fajita seasoning. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers, along with the sliced red onion and minced garlic, to the skillet. Continue to sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, around 5 minutes.
Spread the baked tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.
Top the chips with the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the nachos.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Serve the nachos with lime wedges, a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, and salsa on the side.
