Party night chicken nachos


Obviously this is not the healthiest meal in the world, but sometimes when you are craving a take away filled with thousands of calories, then making your own version, then controlling what you put in is the best compromise.

Ingredients
Serves 2

1/2 red onion
1 garlic clove
Few sprays of calorie controlled spray/olive oil
1 pepper (I like green for a contrast in colour, but whatever you have is great)
Tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tsp chipotle paste
1 tsp sugar
2 chicken breasts
50g cheese
Bag of nacho crisps

Method

Heat the oil in a pan.
Chop your onion, pepper and garlic finely, then throw in the onion and garlic.
When the onion is starting to turn brown, add the pepper to the pan and cook for a   few more minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and chipotle paste.
Place the chicken into your pan, and cover with your sauce. Put the lid on your pan and leave to simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

After 20 minutes, take the chicken out of the pan and shred it with two forks. Return the chicken to the pan, and turn on the grill.
Lay a handful of nachos into a heatproof dish, then spoon some of your chicken onto the nachos. Place the rest of your nachos on top, followed by the rest of the chicken. Grate your cheese over the top.
Place the dish under the grill until the cheese has melted. Serve with sour cream, then eat!
(I recently discovered the jalapeƱo dip, and have to eat it with everything, that's what the green stuff is. It's so delicious it's untrue)
