Serves 2 as a main meal or 4 as a side dish | Total cooking time approx 30 minutes

As this is my very first recipe post, let me start off by saying I am by no means a chef. Whilst I absolutely adore great tasting food, I’m not usually into cooking AT ALL. In fact, it kind of bores me and I’m useless in the kitchen. But short of having millions of pounds and the metabolism of a goat I’m unable to eat out every night or get a wonderful chef to cook for me!

So what I really need are quick and easy recipes that taste great and require little to no skill. And that’s the kind of recipes you’ll find here on my blog :)

Ingredients:
225g bag of Doritos (*or your choice of nacho chips)
200g bag of grated emmental cheese (*or your choice of cheese)
1 avocado
half a jar of jalapeno peppers
1 large chicken breast
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chilli flakes
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 limes
splash of oil

Equipment:
Oven proof dish
Frying pan
Wooden spoon
Sharp knife
Chopping board
Bowl for mixing
Oven

Step One – Prepare your ingredients.
I don’t have a juicer so I chopped the limes into eighths and squeezed them by hand into my bowl. (I told you, I’m in no way a chef! :P)
Make sure you chop the lime & avocado first and the chicken second to avoid contamination. Don’t worry about getting lime juice on the chicken, this is our intention.
Slice the chicken into chunks or strips according to your preference (I got Boyfriend to do this because I can’t touch raw chicken. I tell you, it’s a laugh a minute when I’m in the kitchen!)

Step Two – Coat your chicken.
Now you have your lime squeezed into a bowl, also add your paprika, chilli flakes and salt. Mix.
Add your chicken and coat with ingredients. I mixed the chicken around the bowl with the wooden spoon for several minutes to soak up as much as possible.

Step Three – Fry your chicken.
Add a splash of oil to your frying pan and heat to a medium-high heat. Pour in the contents of the bowl. Cook for approx 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has significantly reduced. Stir regularly. To check if it’s cooked, slice the thickest piece of chicken you have in half. It must be completely white inside.

Step Four – Layer your nachos.
Add layers of nacho chips, jalapenos and cheese to your taste.
We started with a layer of doritos then a sprinkle of jalapenos, a layer of cheese, a layer of doritos, a second sprinkle of jalapenos, a layer of cheese, a final layer of doritos, and a topping of avocado. Keep back some cheese to sprinkle on top of your chicken.

Step Five – Top your nacho tower with the cooked fiery lime chicken and add a final layer of cheese.

Step Six – Pop in the oven at 180°C for approx 10 minutes or until your cheese is adequately melted.

Step Seven – Enjoy. With several hundred glasses of water ;)

I hope you enjoyed this recipe and will find it useful. I also think the fiery lime chicken would be great on it’s own in a crusty baguette with jalapenos and salad or on top of a bed of spicy rice.

I would love to know if you try this recipe, please leave me a comment and share some photos if you can :)) And as this is my first recipe I would appreciate any feedback on how easy this was to follow. Thanks!
