Ingredients

  • ( 1 medium) Skinless Chicken Breast
  • ( 2 medium) Tomato
  • ( 4 cloves) Garlic
  • ( 4 tbsp) Vegetable Oil
  • ( 3 medium) Brown Onion
  • ( 0.5 cup) Mexican Tomato Salsa
  • ( 5) Pickled Jalapenos
  • ( 8 tortillas) Corn Tortilla

Method

  1. To poach the chicken breasts, choose a pot large enough to hold all the chicken breasts and then fill with water leaving enough room so it won’t overflow when the chicken is placed into the pot. Boil the water and then allow to cool for 5 minutes and place the chicken into the pot and cover with the lid.
  2. While the chicken is poaching dice the onions and cook them in a pan with the oil. Cook the onions on a medium heat until they are just soft.
  3. When the onions are done add the salsa, garlic and jalapenos into a blend and blend until smooth and then add them to the pan and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  4. When the chicken is cooked (25-30mins) shred it with two forks and then add to the onions and salsa mix.
  5. Cook the salsa and chicken mix for 5 minutes to allow the flavours of salsa to be absorbed into the chicken.
  6. Serve the chicken with the corn tortillas.
