CHOPPED CHICKEN NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY
Here's what you need: chicken breasts, olive oil, poultry rub, tortilla chips, roasted red pepper, black beans, green onion, garlic, black olive, colby jack cheese

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place chicken breasts in a pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Sprinkle rub over both sides of the chicken. I like to use Tony's Creole Seasoning, but it is a little spicy so be aware of how much you use or use your favorite rub if you don't want spicy.
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until a digital thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the red peppers, rinse the black beans, slice the green onions including most of the green stem, finely dice the garlic, drain the black olives.
- Layer the chips on a baking sheet. Layer the veggies on top of the chips.
- When the chicken is done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Place on a cutting board and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Layer the chicken on top of the veggies. Evenly spread the cheese over the top.
- Heat the oven to broil and leave the top rack in the middle spot. You don't want to get too close to the top and accidentally burn the cheese before the rest of the dish heats up. Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the cheese to melt and the veggies to get warm, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. I like to use a wide spatula to cut through the chips and cheese to serve.
- Enjoy!

CHICKEN MOLE
This is NOT your traditional mole but still has a very authentic "mexican" flavor. I do not like the chocolate in traditional mole recipes and this one adds a bit of peanut butter which makes it more of a "Pollo con Guisada" or Mexican chicken with gravy which I tend to say is a chicken version of "Carne Guisada" or mexican beef/w gravy. I was taught how to make this by a very dear friend about 20 years ago. We have since parted ways and she is no longer in my life but NEVER far from my thoughts and ALWAYS in my heart.
