These Healthy Chicken Nachos with Corn or so easy to make and so delicious! Made with cooked or rotisserie chicken, you can have these on the table in about 30 minutes! You're going to love the jalapeño yogurt and will find some many uses for it!
Rotisserie Chicken Nachos
I don't know about you, but I collect recipes to use rotisserie chicken like they are priceless. Which they are!
Even if you don't buy a rotisserie chicken and you roast your own (good for you!) it's good to have some favorite recipes that use cooked chicken. A rotisserie chicken means these nachos can be on the table in about 30 minutes!
How to Make These Nachos
Choose your chicken - the first thing you need to decide when making these nachos is if you want to use rotisserie chicken or make your own chicken.
If you choose to make your own, my Instant Pot Poached Chicken Breasts is so easy and the chicken is so juicy and flavorful. If you want to make your own and you forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer, don't despair, you can make Frozen Chicken Breasts in an Instant Pot!
After you've got your chicken ready, the nachos come together really quickly!
Toast Lavash Bread - to help keep these nachos healthy, you use lavash bread instead of regular tortilla chips. You can use regular tortilla chips, no one will judge you, but I encourage you to give the lavash bread a try. You simple brush it with some olive oil, sprinkle with chia seeds and toast it in the oven for about 8 minutes.
Char the Corn - to give even more flavor to these nachos, the corn is quickly sauteed in a skillet, until lightly charred.
Make the Jalapeño Yogurt - use an immersion blender to blend together yogurt, pickled jalapeño peppers and salt.
Healthy Nachos - So Good!
These healthy nachos are so good and so easy! My favorite takeaway was the jalapeño yogurt! I can think of all kinds of uses for it!

Gah, I love that Donna Hay magazine! Those fun little animations make me all giddy and the photography blows my mind. I love your mealtime formulas. I need to more of that. Going from being an on-my-feet most of the time preschool teacher to a sitting-down all the time consultant has been rough on the old waistline! These nachos sound great, by the way.
