Chicken Ranch Nachos

I HAVE to share this with you.  There's a local restaurant in town that my family and I like to frequent (and support as it's owned by neighbors) called Something Different.  There are so many good things on the menu, but my absolute favorite is the Chicken Ranch Nachos.  So, being that eating out often does not make "cents", I began my own exploration to find a way to make these awesome nachos at home.  What I have come up with is easy and inexpensive and definitely worthy of the "Simple Cents" label.  :)

Here's the recipe:

Chicken Ranch Nachos
Serves 4

4 frozen boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
1 jar of Salsa
1/8 cup of Taco Seasoning
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 bag of Tortilla Chips (any brand)
Ranch dressing (homemade is preferable)

1.  Place all four breasts into a crockpot.  Sprinkle breasts with taco seasoning and pour salsa over all.  Place lid on pot and cook all day on low or 4 hours on high.

2.  When ready for dinner, shred one breast per plate of nachos (if serving an adult).  Layer as follows:  tortilla chips on bottom of plate, scattered shredded chicken over chips, and sprinkle shredded cheese over all. 

3.  Place plate in toaster oven or oven just until cheese is melted.  Once you've melted the cheese, drizzle ranch dressing over plate and serve.

DELICIOUS!!  Try it and let me know what you think! :)
