- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Trim and cut the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the broth has mostly evaporated, ensuring the chicken remains moist.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked chicken onto each tortilla.
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soft chicken tacos!
