Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 whole Lime
- 8 whole Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cover. Let the chicken cook for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Then shred with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir with any remaining broth.
Add the butter and juice of the lime to the chicken and stir. Let it cook uncovered for 2-3 more minutes until thoroughly combined.
Prepare the taco shells by using romaine lettuce leaves as wraps.
Slice the avocado and prepare any additional toppings, such as sour cream and cilantro.
To assemble, place a generous portion of the shredded chicken onto each lettuce leaf, top with avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Shredded Chicken Tacos!
