Elevate Game Day

In our quest for healthier indulgence, we’ve made some savvy swaps – whole grain chips for added fiber, yogurt in place of sour cream, and low-fat cheese that promises all the gooey goodness without all of the calories. But that’s not all – we’ve upped the protein ante by generously adding shredded chicken. This isn’t your average nacho platter; it’s a party on a sheet pan that will satisfy your game-day snack attack.

Here’s the game plan: Preheat your oven, layer those whole grain chips with a medley of shredded chicken, cheese, jalapenos, and beans, then let the oven work its magic. A mere 10 minutes later, you’ll be greeted by melty, gooey goodness.

Nachos with a Healthy Twist

But the magic doesn’t stop there. We’re taking nacho customization to the next level with a zesty yogurt topping. Simply combine yogurt, taco seasoning, and lime juice, then drizzle this flavorful concoction over your nachos. Add a dollop of salsa, and you’ve got a snack that’s as wholesome as it is delectable.

For those looking for smart kitchen tips, we’ve got you covered. 

  • Easy yogurt drizzle technique – Add yogurt to a ziplock sandwich bag and clip the corner with scissors.  Now you can drizzle over the nachos so each chip is equally as tasty.
  • Prepping refried beans – Add beans to a pot or microwave-safe bowl.  Add about ¼ cup of water.  Heat and stir until beans are smooth.  Continue to add water to get the consistency you require.
  • Shredded Chicken is simple to make in the slow cooker.  Just combine 2 chicken breasts and 8oz of salsa.  Cook on High for 3 hours or until chicken shreds easily.
  • Ready to redefine your snacking game with Healthy Chicken Nachos? In Jamie’s Kitchen, we quickly win the snacking game with mindful and delicious choices.
