Soft Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, thawed, skin and bone removed from each piece
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning or chili powder (if you have it)
  • 1 green pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 soft tortillas, 6-inch size
  • 1⁄4 head Romaine lettuce, sliced thin
  • 1⁄4 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 4 teaspoons fresh tomato salsa (page 52)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley or cilantro, chopped (if you have it)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix chicken, vegetable oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. If using taco seasoning or chili powder, add them too.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place it in the

    refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

  4. While the chicken is in the refrigerator, cook the pepper and

    onion, on stovetop, over medium heat until done (about 12

    minutes).

  5. Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cook each side about

    10 to 15 minutes.

  6. Place chicken on a plate. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Cut the

    chicken into strips.

  7. To make the tacos, put chicken on the tortilla first. Add

    peppers and onion strips next. Top with lettuce, tomato, and salsa. If using parsley or cilantro, add that too.
