This is such an easy and flavorful way to cook chicken. Chicken breasts are smothered in a mixture of chipotle, garlic, and lime juice then shredded and topped with onion, cilantro and more lime juice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can chipotle peppers, pureed or chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 small white onion, minced
- corn tortillas
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place chicken breast in a baking dish
-
In a small bowl mix together chipotle peppers, garlic, and juice from 1 lime and spread over chicken
-
Add about 1/2 inch chicken stock to the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake about 35 minutes until cooked through.
-
Once cooked through, shred the chicken.
-
Add chicken to warm corn tortillas (I like to double them up) and top with onion, cilantro and lime.
