Ingredients

• 8 ounces corn tortilla chips
• 1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast half
• 1 (14.25 ounce) can refried beans
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions
• 1.5 cups grated pepper Jack cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place the chicken on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and place in a microwave oven. Cook on high power until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Cool, and use a knife to shred the chicken. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thoroughly heated.

Step 4

Layer half the chips, 1/2 cup cheese, and green onions on the bottom of prepared baking dish. Spoon the refried beans over the chip mixture. Sprinkle with another 1/2 cup cheese, and spread with the sour cream. Arrange the shredded chicken over the sour cream layer. Top with the remaining chips and 1/2 cup cheese.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until the cheese melts throughout, 15 to 18 minutes.
