Description

Shredded chicken with a touch of spice goes perfectly on tacos or nachos.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 whole Lime, Divided Use
  • 1 whole Onion, Quartered
  • 1 whole Bay Leaf
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Or Water

Salt & pepper the chicken breasts and soak with the juice of 1/2 of the lime to tenderize (30 minutes). Then, place chicken in a saucepan with the quartered onion, bay leaf, broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and poach for 15 minutes.

Drain and transfer chicken to a bowl. Discard the bay leaf and onion. Shred the chicken with 2 forks.

I cheated and used a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but the sauce and spice combination were really good. Love the adobo sauce. I will be making this again.
