The summer parties are in full swing! And we all know that means carb-loaded appetizers to munch on until the barbecue is lit and the burgers are cooked. Instead of spiking your blood sugar and storing fat before the real party even begins, get your balance on with these delicious chicken nachos. They provide the full nacho experience while also balancing your blood sugar. The best of both worlds!
Chicken Nachos Over Homemade Sweet Potato Chips
Ignite, and Thrive Phases Approved
Grab ‘n’ Go
This lean take on nachos takes only minutes to make if you have sweet potato chips prepared ahead of time for the week. Simply cut sweet potatoes in thin, even slices, coat lightly with fat- free cooking spray, season with Mrs. Dash seasoning of your choice, and bake at 450˚F until crispy, about 20–30 minutes. Just keep an eye on the potatoes while they cook, as they tend to burn.
