PaleoNewbie’s Paleo Chicken Nachos

Hi lovelies!

I hope you’re having a lovely week thus far 🙂 Mine has been great, seeing as I am gearing up to make this delicious meal again this weekend! (Cover photo and recipe courtesy of Paleo Newbie). If any of you are interested in eating paleo…seriously check her out. Everything I have ever made of hers I have just LOVED.

For this quick mid-week post, I made a few adjustments to her version of these delicious paleo nachos to make them more of what I knew I would like but I mainly just followed the recipe she gave (recipe below). Anything in parenthesis are the changes that I made to her original recipe 🙂 And as you can see, there aren’t many, so ENJOY!
