Ingredients

  • 1 package chicken breast
  • water, enough to cover the chicken
  • salt
  • mushrooms, cut up
  • carrots, cut up
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • smoked paprika
  • water, a little, for softening vegetables
  • 1 package Siete taco seasoning packet
  • water, for the seasoning packet
  • rice, for serving

Steps

  1. Take one package of chicken breast and place them in a pot full of water that fully covers the breasts and add some salt.
  2. Bring to a boil and then turn it to low heat, cover it, and let it simmer for 12 to 18 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F on the inside.
  3. Cut up mushrooms and carrots or whatever vegetables you like.
  4. Coat them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  5. Cook them on medium to medium low heat on a pan, and if you want them extra soft add in a little bit of water.
  6. Once the chicken is fully cooked, grab two forks and shred it, or if you have a KitchenAid to shred it, you can use that as well.
  7. Put the shredded chicken in a pan with a Siete taco seasoning packet and add water to the seasoning packet, and let that seasoning cook into the chicken.
  8. Serve with rice.
