Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create delicious Shredded Chicken Tacos:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
3. Add Liquid: Pour chicken broth into the skillet, ensuring the chicken is mostly covered. Bring to a simmer.
4. Cook Chicken: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken simmer for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked and tender.
5. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet with the cooking liquid, stirring to combine. Let it absorb the flavors for a few minutes.
6. Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over low heat, about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
7. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the shredded chicken into the warmed tortillas. Top with your choice of toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, or cilantro.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the tacos while they are warm, and encourage everyone to customize their own!
