Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 8" or 9" square baking dish with cooking spray.
- FILLING:.
- Thinly slice celery and coarsely chop onion. In 12" skillet, melt 3 T butter and sauté 2 minutes. Pour into medium sized mixing bowl. In the same skillet, heat olive oil; add chicken breasts cut into ¾" cubes and 1 tablespoon of seasoning mix. Stir well and sauté just until chicken is no longer pink. Pour into mixing bowl with vegetables. Reserve 1 teaspoon of seasoning mix for the topping. Add remaining mix to bowl along with the next 7 ingredients. Stir gently to combine well. Pour chicken mixture into prepared baking dish.
- TOPPING:.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in Panko bread crumbs, sliced almonds and the 1 teaspoon of reserved seasoning mix. Toss just until well coated. Sprinkle topping on chicken filling mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and topping is golden brown. Makes four generous, delicious servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack. Avoid using hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Romano, as they don't melt as well.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your nachos the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overload your nachos: Too many toppings can make your nachos soggy and difficult to eat. Add your toppings in layers so that each bite has a variety of flavors and textures.
- Don't overcook your nachos: Nachos are best when they are cooked just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooked nachos will be tough and chewy.
- Serve your nachos immediately: Nachos are best when served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the chips will become soggy and the cheese will harden.
Conclusion:
Nachos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make nachos that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
