Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts about 3 medium breasts
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter divided
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Sour Cream
Instructions
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with the salt, then rub in the taco seasoning. *If the chicken breasts are especially thick, pound lightly with a mallet first to even them out.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side has a nice golden sear. Add the other tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt.
- Turn off the burner and spoon the juices form the pan over the top of the chicken. Cover and let sit for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred into large chunks. Set aside.
- To the skillet, add the chicken broth and tomato paste and whisk to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 7-8 minutes.
- Serve in taco shells or soft tortillas, topped with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and any other favorite toppings.
- You can also use this chicken in burritos, quesadillas, nachos or salads. Or serve on it’s own with a side of Mexican Rice.
Notes
*Notes: If you have pre-cooked shredded chicken, skip the first 2 steps.
