Shredded Chicken for Tacos

Shredded Chicken for Tacos


Ingredients:
2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, optional (adjust according to desired heat preference or omit)
1 chopped onion
Directions:
Place chicken breast halves in the slow cooker or large pot.  In a mixing bowl whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour mixture over chicken in slow cooker, cover slow cooker with lid. Cook chicken on low heat 6 - 8 hours. Shred chicken (it's so tender I usually just shred it in the slow cooker without even removing it), then cook shredded chicken in broth in slow cooker an additional 30 minutes on low. Drain broth from chicken.

NOTE: if cooking on the stove top, mix all ingredients in pot covering with water half way full. Bring to a boil and cook until chicken is tender. Usually takes about 1 hour after the water boils. Remove chicken breast aside and drain almost all but 1 cup of broth.  Return broth back into stock pot and when chicken is cooled shred with two forks until all shredded and return back to pot.  Cook until all the broth has boil out.

Serve with you toppings!! Enjoy
