Skillet Chicken Nachos

Who likes doing dishes? Not me! That is one of the biggest reasons that one skillet meals are so wonderful. All the ingredients in only one pan. Excellent. This dish came together so fast and was delciously flavorful. The only thing I could have wished for was that I had some of the homemade salsa I made yesterday when we made these nachos. (I am behind on blogging.... stay tuned!)
