Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated parm
  • olive oil
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • parsley and red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Butterfly the chicken by slicing it in half the long way, creating two or three thinner pieces of chicken. Cover with parchment paper and pound the chicken even thinner. Cut the chicken into triangles.
  • Place the flour in one bowl, the eggs in another (beaten), and mix the breadcrumbs and cheese in a third. Season each bowl with salt and pepper.
  • Bread the chicken triangles by dipping them in the flour first, then the egg, then coating with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture.
  • Fry the chicken "chips" in a half inch or so of olive oil, about 5 at a time depending on the size of your frying pan. Flip once during frying to brown on both sides. Remove to a drying rack or paper towel.
  • Build the nachos by stacking up the "chips" in layers with cheese and sauce. Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melty delicious.
  • Top with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes and serve.
