Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp (45ml) olive oil
  • 2 tsp (10ml) fajita spice
  • 4 breast fillets
  • 400g good-quality nachos
  • 2 corn on the cob, cooked and lightly charred
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) caramelised onion, cooked and chopped
  • 200ml mild salsa
  • 1 cup (250ml) chunky cottage cheese (plain)
  • 400ml matured cheddar cheese, grated
  • 300ml guacamole (mashed avocado, chilli, lemon juice, chopped spring onion)
  • 100ml crème fraiche
  • chopped coriander

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and fajita spice.
  • Gently pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet to achieve an even thickness, then rub it with the fajita oil. Set aside.
  • Divide the nachos between four ovenproof serving bowls or one large dish.
  • Cut the corn off the cob and mix with the caramelised onion. Divide the mixture between the four bowls and spoon it on top of the nachos.
  • Top with the salsa and cottage cheese.
  • Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  • Cut the fillets in half and place them on top of the piping-hot nachos.
  • Serve with dollops of guacamole, crème fraiche and chopped coriander.
