Instructions
To Bake the Chicken
Preheat oven to 400°F if you're baking the chicken.
In a baking dish, brush both sides of chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle on seasoning. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F for next steps.
To Sauté the Chicken
Add oil to frying pan and heat to medium high. While it's heating, cut chicken into smaller pieces to make it easier to cook through.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the heated skillet, sprinkling with seasoning of choice. Cook over medium heat until golden brown approximately 6-7 minutes, until cooked through.
Create the Nachos
Remove chicken from pan, and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice or dice.
Meanwhile, cover large sheet pan with tortilla chips.
Drizzle with queso blanco.
Add toppings.
Bake 10 minutes at 350°F.
