Sweet Potato Chicken Nachos

Try using thinly sliced sweet potatoes instead of tortilla chips for a healthier version of chicken nachos. I made these for my family over the Super Bowl and they were a hit. With ingredients like sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, cheese, jalapenos, olives, and more, they will be the hit of any party.

Ingredients

• Sweet potatoes washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• Olive oil
• Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Chipotle chili powder
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Cooked chicken, diced or shredded (go grab a rotisserie chicken and make it easy)
• Jalapeño, sliced
• Black olives (I used a small can)
• Fresh cilantro or parsley
• Avocado, pit removed and diced
• Roma tomatoes, diced
• Radishes, thinly sliced
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash and dry 2 large sweet potatoes. Slice into 1/4 inch rounds.
3. Place them on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chipotle chili powder.
4. Bake for 25 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese, cooked chicken, black olives, and jalapeños. Bake until the cheese has melted.
6. Serve with avocado slices, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), radish slices, and diced tomatoes

You can use rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or learn how to boil chicken which is a quick and easy way to prep tender chicken for any recipe.
