Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 large Sliced avocado
- 2 whole Lime wedges
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish to surround the chicken, ensuring chicken is submerged halfway in liquid.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then shred the chicken using two forks.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, and set them aside as taco shells.
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the shredded chicken on each lettuce leaf. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
Enjoy your Paleo Shredded Chicken Tacos!
