Perfect topping for homemade corn tortillas! Quick and easy for a weeknight meal.
Combine all ingredients listed (except chicken) in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixture is smooth.
Pour marinade into a shallow dish and place chicken in dish to marinate for 1-2 hours. Flip the chicken breasts once about halfway through the marinade time.
Place a pan over medium high heat and sear the chicken breasts on each side. It should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Reserve excess marinade.
After both sides are golden brown, reduce heat to medium low and remove chicken from pan. Put chicken onto a cutting board and slice chicken into strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
Return chicken to pan and add the excess marinade. Stir everything to combine and let simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
Remove from heat and use chicken anyway you see fit! My favorite way is to use the chicken for tacos and top with caramelized onions, guacamole, chopped tomatoes, and lettuce!

This sounds great … but I’m never sure what’s meant by a “whole chicken breast… ” Is that the breast with two “halves” or is each half a whole breast? I tried googling this question once and found that the answer to that question is … yes. It’s definitely one or the other depending on who’s answering the question. So … for THIS recipe?
