Caprese Chicken Nachos

作者： 弄库一额

Take your nachos to a whole new level this football season with our awesome Caprese Chicken Nachos recipe. It’s your favorite cheesy Mexican dish, Italianized! Is that even a word? What I’m trying to say is; this is what happens when a caprese salad and nachos decide to have a baby. AND, balsamic chicken was its third wheel. This Caprese Chicken Nachoswas my contribution to the party for the Bears and Packers game couple of weeks ago. I hate the way that game ended, buuuut, my nachos were the first to go. I don’t think they survived the first 10 minutes of the game. THAT, to me, is a winning dish. I don’t consider myself a huge football fan, but I do consider myself a huge football-party-goer because I go to football parties only for the food. And the winning atmosphere. *** Caprese Chicken Nachos is a recipe that involves tortilla chips loaded with a layer of cheese, balsamic chicken, juicy tomatoes, a bit more cheese, some diced avocados, basil, and a balsamic glaze to wrap it all up. *** Easy, super cheesy, and amazingly delicious Caprese Chicken Nachos loaded with mozzarella cheese, shredded balsamic chicken, sweet tomatoes, and fresh basil.
