Recipe by Shjya Instance

Great addition to practically any Latin American dish- from taquitos to taco salad! You can also use cilantro here, though I prefer parsley.

Nutrition

1

lb chicken breast
1

medium yellow onion
2

sliced serranos or 2 jalapenos
1

tablespoon olive oil
2

diced garlic cloves
diced fresh parsley leaves (I use these instead of cilantro)

DIRECTIONS

Boil chicken breast, 1/2 of the onion sliced, and chiles until chicken is cooked through.
Shred the chicken into bite size or smaller pieces.
Fry in a skillet the other half of the onion, diced, the garlic, and the parsley leaves for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are soft.
(I also like to add the boiled chile here to add a little kick.)
Serve as meat for empanadas, taquitos, burritos, atop a taco salad, or use your imagination!
