Savory Shredded Chicken

Ingredients

1 Tbsp Oil

1 onion chopped
3 diced tomatoes
2 Whole cooked chicken breasts shredded
1 Tbsp Salt
3 Cups Broth, fat skimmed off top

Directions
1. Place dutch oven on medium-high heat on your stovetop. Add oil to pan, let oil get hot. 
2. Add onions, cook until clear. The onion will finish cooking in this process and will also become fragrant. 
3. Add tomato and shredded chicken. Stir. Add salt, and then broth. Stir. 
4. Place lid on top, and simmer for 15 min.  Do not take lid off and stir, because you need the steam in there. When timer goes off, let sit for 10 minutes, keeping lid on. 


You can eat this in burritos, Sandwiches, on top of tostadas, or anything else you can think of! =)

Chicken Tacos with Charred Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 2 plum tomatoes, cored
• 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
• 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
• 2 teaspoons lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 6 small corn tortillas, heated (see Tip)

Preparation

1. Heat a medium skillet over high heat until very hot. Add tomatoes and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise; squeeze to discard seeds. Remove cores and chop the remaining pulp and skin.
2. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and heat over high heat until very hot. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add lime juice, the chicken and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and scallions. Divide the chicken mixture among tortillas. Serve with lime wedges.
