Flavorful Chicken for Empanadas, Tacos, Etc...

Submitted 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."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 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

1. Boil chicken breast, 1/2 of the onion sliced, and chiles until chicken is cooked through.
2. Shred the chicken into bite size or smaller pieces.
3. 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.
4. (I also like to add the boiled chile here to add a little kick.)
5. Serve as meat for empanadas, taquitos, burritos, atop a taco salad, or use your imagination!

Wonderful! I loved the addition of the onions and garlic. I cooked my chicken breasts in the crock pot all day in garlic chicken broth with the onon and peppers. It made for very easy shredding. I made these into tostadas for dinner. Will be making again soon. Thanks so much for posting!
