  • 6 oz tortilla chips

  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; let it rest before slicing.

  4. Assemble nachos: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread tortilla chips evenly. Top with sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and any additional toppings.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake assembled nachos for about 10 minutes until heated through.
  6. Add toppings: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top just before serving.
