Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, taco seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, shred it using two forks and mix it with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in taco shells. Top with your favorite toppings such as salsa, avocado, or cheese.
