Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 cups Tortilla chips
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 piece Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup Pico de gallo
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Guacamole
• 0.25 cup Jalapeños, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion over medium heat until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.

Step 6

Top the chips with the cooked chicken strips, sautéed peppers and onions, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Step 8

Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter or leave them on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Top the nachos with pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, sliced jalapeños, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chili's Chicken Fajita Nachos!
