Instructions

MAKE THE HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING

  • Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and black pepper to a small bowl, stir to combine.

BROWN THE CHICKEN

  • Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the chicken. Cook for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set on a plate or pan. Don’t worry that it’s not cooked all the way through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.

MAKE THE TACO SAUCE

  • Do not wash the skillet.
  • Set the skillet back over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce, water and prepared seasoning mix, stir well to combine.
  • When the sauce comes to a simmer return the chicken to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.
  • Keep the sauce at a simmer. Turn the chicken about half way through the cooking time, and stir occasionally.
  • Make sure the chicken is at least 165°F at the thickest part.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and continue cooking the sauce, covered on low heat. It should be barely at a simmer.

SHRED THE CHICKEN

  • Place the chicken on a cutting board or pan and shred using two forks.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and cook a few minutes until warmed through and most of the sauce is absorbed. Stir occasionally.
  • Serve the shredded chicken with tortillas or hard taco shells and your favorite taco fixings.
