We loved this recipe! I made it exactly as written and though, at first, didn't know why to cut the chicken breast halves into 3 pieces, it became apparent when shredding the cooked chicken...it's much easier when it's in smaller pieces. I love simple, quick, easy, delicious dishes and this one fits the bill entirely. My daughter and husband loved it, this will be repeated at my house! Thanks for posting this recipe Chef 4three!

I had been searching for a good yet simple taco recipe and finally found it with this one. My husband doesn't like mexican food like I do but ended up loving these tacos and having 2nds. Only changes I made were that I used regular corn tortilla shells which I fried myself and green onions instead of the sweet which is what I had on hand. I never would have thought the chicken would get so much flavor from the onions baked this way but it sure did. Also, the salsa mixed with the cheese was superb! I chopped a medium tomato and added 1 TBS of salsa. This is one of those rare simple, yet fabulous, recipes! Thanks for posting!
