This shredded chicken taco recipe is quick to make — no slow cooker needed. Serve the warm chicken filling in a taco shell, covered with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- 1 pinch chili powder
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken breasts in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer until no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer chicken breasts to a bowl. Allow to cool briefly, then shred with 2 forks.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, tomato sauce, cumin, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is hot and flavors have blended, about 3 minutes.
Tips
If you prefer more sauce, add additional tomato sauce a spoonful at a time to your liking.
