Name: Shredded Chicken Tacos
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts (skinless boneless); 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; ½ yellow onion (minced); 2 cloves garlic (minced); 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ cup salsa

Poach chicken. Place chicken in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C. I use the kitchen thermometer to check as overcooked chicken will be dry.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or bowl, and shred it with 2 forks.

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the onion until it’s soft and translucent (3 minutes).

Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1 more minute.

Add salsa, and just mix it in (if necessary, you can add a splash of water) and let it warm up.

Add the chicken, and mix it in with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Serve in warmed up tortillas or taco shells with your favorite toppings.
