Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

(these are estimates only)

5 or 6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts poached in Chicken Stock and then shredded, discarding stock

Chicken TacosOlive Oil for the pan

1 large Spanish Onion, diced

3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped or minced

1 tsp Chilli Powder

2 tsp Cumin

2 tsp Paprika

2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 tsp Onion Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Oregano

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1 – 1 1/2  Cups Crushed Tomatoes (start with 1 Cup, and if mixture appears too dry add more.  It’s a personal preference thing)

Taco Shells, salad, cheese, sour cream and salsa to serve.

Directions:

After you have poached your chicken breasts and shredded them, dicard the stock.

Dice your onion and combine all of the dry spices in a bowl.

Heat oil in a large frying pan at medium heat and add the onion, cooking until the onion has softened.

Add spices to the pan and stir to combine with the onion.

Once the spices are fragrant add the shredded chicken and toss to coat the chicken completely in the spice mixture.

Cook for 1 minute, then add the diced tomatoes.

Stir to combine, adding more tomatoes if the mixture is too dry for your liking.  You may even choose to use more than 1 1/2 cups, it depends on how you like them.

Once the mixture has heated through and you have done a taste test  to make sure it is just the way you like it, remove the chicken from the pan to a serving dish.

Serve chicken in Taco Shells  with all of your favourite toppings.

Notes:  This chicken can be served many ways, in taco shells, burritos, a taco chicken salad etc.  It would also freeze well.
