Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
-
Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
-
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the skillet. Stir the shredded chicken to coat it in the flavorful broth.
-
Continue to simmer the shredded chicken in the skillet for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the broth has reduced and the chicken is fully flavored.
-
Serve the shredded chicken taco filling in warmed tortillas with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and salsa.
