Greek Chicken Nachos



 Crunchy, Cheesy, YUM!


I love Greek food, and I always say, I could eat Greek food everyday, and never complain!  Olives, Oregano, Feta, Greek Yogurt, and Lemons...it's something about those flavors in one bite that just leaves a big smile on my face.

I wanted to take those flavors, and add them to my other favorite food...Nachos!


This dish is really simple, just marinate chicken breast in olive oil, oregano, Greek yogurt, lemon and spices. Grill the chicken, then dice it up.

Fry up some tortilla chips...hey, if you're in a time crunch...grab a bag already fried!


I topped my tortilla chips with feta, mozzarella, chicken, olives and peperoncini.  Broil until cheese starts melting.

Finish off with fresh tomatoes and a little parmesean cheese. And a extra dollop of Greek yogurt want hurt!


These nachos are delicious, every crunchy, cheesy, bite!

Greek Chicken Nachos

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon oregano, dried, crushed
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 oz. Chobani Greek yogurt, plain
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested, juiced
extra virgin olive oil to cook chicken

For the Nachos

12 corn tortillas, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesean cheese, grated
1 cup olives, sliced
1 cup peperoncini, sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
cooked chicken, chopped
salt
cooking grease for tortillas
Greek yogurt, plain for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to broil.

To prepare the chicken, rinse chicken and pat dry. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Allow chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes.

Add about 2 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat, add chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Prepare tortillas by heating cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry tortillas about 2 minutes are until golden brown, remove from pan, drain, sprinkle a pinch of salt and repeat.

Place all tortillas on a baking sheet, top with cheese, chicken, olives, and peperoncini. Broil for about 3-5 minutes, or until cheese melts. Top with sliced tomatoes, sprinkle parmesean cheese and enjoy!
