Ingredients

6 chicken breast halves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
4 shallots, sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry wine
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup pimento stuffed olive, minced

1 tablespoon potato starch or 1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese (1 ounce) or 1/4 cup fontinella cheese, grated
1 lemon, thinly sliced, to garnish

Steps:

Lightly dust chicken pieces with flour (easily done by putting flour in bag, then chicken and shaking; excess flour can be shaken off).
In pressure cooker, heat oil. Add chicken breasts, two at a time, and saute in hot oil until brown on all sides, using long-handled tongs to turn. Set aside.
Add shallots and garlic and saute in oil, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned particles remaining from chicken. Stir in broth, lemon juice, sherry, salt, pepper, basil, and olives. Mix well.

Stir chicken mixture, then transfer chicken to serving platter, and cover to retain heat.
Whisk sour cream and starch together. Stir into cooking liquid and cook over medium heat 1 minute, stirring constantly.

- Shredded chicken
- Black beans
- Corn
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- Peppers
- Sour cream
- Guacamole

Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken that is overcooked will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
Use a good quality cheese sauce: A good quality cheese sauce will make your nachos even more delicious. You can either make your own cheese sauce or use a store-bought sauce.
Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best when they are served immediately after they are made. The chips will get soggy if you let them sit for too long.
