Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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, chilli 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.
