Mexican Shredded Chicken

Mexican Shredded Chicken

Tender, slow-braised shredded chicken in a tomato-chile sauce — versatile for tacos, burritos, and bowls.

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 45 mins | Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3½ tsp Mexican in a Minute (or any World Seasonings blend)
  • 2 bone-in chicken breasts with skin
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small can roasted green chile peppers

Directions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with 2 tsp of seasoning and let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot over high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
  3. Roughly chop tomatoes and add to the pot along with green chiles and remaining seasoning.
  4. Keep heat at medium-high to let tomatoes caramelize and break down into a sauce.
  5. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until chicken is tender and shreddable. Shred with two forks and serve.
