Chicken Tacos: An Easy Dinner #Recipe

I just love these Chicken Tacos because they are so versatile.  I like them in hard tacos.  My husbands and sons like them as soft tacos.  When I have leftovers (a rare occurrence), I can make them into Chicken Quesadillas and freeze them for future lunches (or snacks for my teen boys).  It is good on nachos or in salads.

If you’re looking for a Taco Recipe with ground meat, I’ve got that, too.

Kitchen Tools Suggested:

Sharp Knife ( for raw meat)

Cutting Board  ( for raw meat)

Stove

Large Pot with Lid

Wooden Spoon

Sharp Knife ( for veggie toppings ) (don’t use same knife as raw meat unless sanitized between uses)

Cutting Board ( for veggie toppings ) (it is NEVER a good idea to use the same cutting boards for raw meats and veggies)

Platters or Bowls for serving toppings

Tongs or Spoons for toppings for guests or family to serve themselves

Directions:

I like to start by sauteing my onions and bell peppers in a little vegetable oil and seasoning.  I love to use Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning blend along with some Chili Powder.  The Tony’s seasoning has both salt and spice so I don’t need to add them at this point.  My onions and bell peppers are bought already cut and frozen for ease.  I add a little seasoning to the onion and bell pepper while they are cooking so the seasoning can cook into the veggies.  I like to try to season every step.

Next, my chicken breasts are cut into cubes.  The smaller the cubes are cut, the faster the chicken will cook.  My chicken breasts were cut into cubes that were roughly about one inch.  Once the veggies are softened and the onions are becoming translucent, I add the chicken cubes with more seasoning.

Chicken Taco Salad

The chicken breasts get cooked with a cover for about 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, I remove the cover and cook the liquid out.  Once the liquid is mostly gone, I add the canned green chiles along with a little more seasoning.  The whole thing gets cooked uncovered with lots of stirring until the chicken is browned.  Once the chicken is fully cooked and nice and browned, I use a wooden spoon to break the cubes apart.  I adjust the seasoning to my liking, and serve as desired.
