let's try a new recipe!

As part of my effort to loose weight I am trying to eat healthier.  Which is so hard for me because I am a junk food junkie (probably how I got the way I am today.....).  So tonight we are having Chicken Nacho Bake.  The recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken breast, but I like thighs better so I will be using boneless skinless thighs.  We will also be having steamed asparagus with it.  Keeping my fingers crossed it comes out as good as the picture looks!

Here's the recipe if anyone else wants to try it too!  The picture is the one from the online recipe.  Sorry camera is dead so I didn't take any pictures




Ingredients

  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup KRAFT Tex Mex Shredded Cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place chicken on foil-covered baking sheet. Slice 3 cuts on top of each chicken breast with sharp knife.
  3. Top each chicken breast evenly with salsa, sour cream and tortilla chips.
  4. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10 minutes or until chicken is done (170 degrees F).

Footnotes

  • Cooking Know How: Making cuts in the chicken helps to flatten the breast so that the topping stays on.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with hot cooked rice and a side of corn.
