Pulled Chicken Tacos
We love taco nights in our house. This one is especially yummy since I made my own pulled chicken- which btw is very easy to make…
- 4 to 5 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
Sprinkle the salt and the ancho chili powder all over the chicken thighs and marinate overnight or at least 2 hours.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 cups fresh tomato sauce
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Heat a large saucepan with the oil over high heat. Add the chicken thighs and let brown for 3 to 4 minutes on medium high heat. Flip the chicken pieces and add the onion, garlic and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and lower heat to a simmer and cover with lid. Cook for 30 minutes or till the chicken is tender. Let cool in the saucepan. Once the pieces are cool to the touch, shred with two forks and mix with the sauce right in the saucepan. Add cilantro. Check for seasonings and adjust if necessary.
Serve as a taco filling or over rice.
Sounds so delicious, thanks for sharing this recipe.
