Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Cook the Chicken

Add the chicken breasts to the pot, and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.

Serve

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your shredded chicken with rice, tacos, or as a filling for sandwiches.
