Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Add Chicken to Pot - Place raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a medium-sized pot on the stovetop.
  • Step 2: Pour Salsa Over Chicken & Add Taco Seasoning Packet - Pour a jar of salsa and taco seasoning packet directly over the chicken, covering the chicken breasts evenly.
  • Step 3: Cover and Cook - Place a lid on the pot and allow the chicken to simmer on low to medium heat, letting it cook through while absorbing the salsa flavors.
  • Step 4: Shred the Chicken - Once fully cooked, use two forks to shred the tender chicken directly in the pot, mixing it with the salsa for flavorful, juicy shredded salsa chicken – perfect for tacos!
  • Step 5: Assemble Tacos - Fill a soft tortilla shell with the tender salsa chicken, sprinkle on some shredded cheese, and top it off with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
