Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos

This has become a favorite at our house! I love the flavor of this chicken, so I use it for a few meals.

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp red chili powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 10 flour tortillas
• 1/2 head lettuce, shredded
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• shredded cheese

Add chicken, water, and all seasonings to a large sauce pan.  Over medium/high heat bring the chicken to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes with a lid cracked. When most, but not all, liquid has evaporated shred the chicken with a fork. Cook a little longer if there is too much liquid remaining, but you don't want it dried out. 

Place chicken in tortilla and garnish taco with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.

 

 

 

I cook extra chicken and store it in an air tight container in the fridge so I can use it for another meal later...from leftover to gourmet!
