Chicken Tacos


When I first made this recipe, after I tasted the chicken I decided I'd better make a double batch. Learn how to make this easy mexican style shredded chicken and you can use it on taco salads, burritos, wraps, tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas or whatever. You'll find lots and lots of uses for it. It's even better warmed up the next day.

4 chicken breast halves (I use the frozen style that comes in a bag)
3 T oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped onions
1 - 2 cups salsa

lettuce, shredded
sour cream (optional)
mexican style shredded cheese
diced tomatoes
salsa or taco sauce
flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breast halves into a shallow baking dish and bake for 40-50 minutes until juices run clear. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook onions and garlic in oil until transparent. After the chicken is cooked, shred and add to the skillet with the salsa. Heat through. Serve on tortillas with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and taco sauce.
