We’re willing to wager that these cost-conscious nacho chicken bites will be your new go-to for parties and tailgates! Instead of wings, try budget-friendly boneless skinless chicken breasts; in place of breadcrumbs, crushed tortilla chips make a perfectly crunchy coating. Topped with Food Lion brand cheese, sour cream and spicy pickled jalapenos, they make an affordable appetizer to share with friends and family.

Directions

  1. Place the chips in a large resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or hands, crush the chips until finely broken. Transfer the crushed chips to a medium shallow bowl. Place the mayonnaise in a separate shallow bowl. Dip the chicken into the mayonnaise, then the crushed chips, evenly coating each piece.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the chicken in a single layer into the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  3. Place the cooked chicken on a large serving plate. Top with the cheddar, sour cream and jalapenos. Served with salsa and enjoy.

Substitute: Substitute ranch or nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips for the restaurant style tortilla chips!
