Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Once the oil is shimmering hot, add the breast. Cook for 5 minutes without moving it to create a thick sear. Then flip it and cook for a few minutes more, or until a thermometer reads 165°F.

Chop your fresh ingredients: slice jalapeño, green onions, cilantro, and dice avocado. As soon as you dice the avocado, drizzle it with the lime juice to prevent it from turning brown.

When your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, remove it from the pan and let it rest for five minutes before chopping it into 1/2-inch pieces.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Then, add half of the corn chips to the pan. Next, top with shredded cheese. (If you prefer cheesier nachos, just add more cheese than what’s asked for in the recipe.) Sprinkle the chips with half of the chopped chicken breast.
