Follow these simple steps to create your Shredded Mexican Chicken:

1. Prep Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
4. Add Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet, nestling them among the onion mixture.
5. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the chicken broth. Make sure the chicken is mostly submerged in the liquid.
6. Simmer: Cover and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
8. Combine: Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it well with the remaining sauce. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices as desired.
10. Rest: Remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
