Healthy Chicken Nachos by Chalene Johnson

Part of living a healthy lifestyle is find ways to incorporate healthy choices into some of our favorite foods. This recipe is one I found on Chalene Johnson's blog and I love it!! There are a couple of things I do differently. First, when it comes to cooking the chicken, I like to have it done ahead of time so I can just throw the rest of the stuff together and have dinner ready in 15 minutes.... I don't like to cook, I want OUT of the kitchen as soon as possible. So, I usually put my chicken breasts (about 4-8 pounds) in a Crock pot and cook over night with only a little salt and pepper, no water. I end up with super tender chicken which I shred. I freeze half and put the other half in the fridge. We use it on salads, nachos (as this recipe calls for), barbecue chicken sandwiches, etc. But its already cooked and ready to go.

I plan on posting more healthy recipes. Some of them will be my own, but mostly ones I steal from other people. I will do my best to tell you where I get them from. Enjoy!!
