1-1/2poundsboneless,skinless chicken breasts
Water, as needed
12crunchy taco shells
1-1/2cupssalsa verde(green salsa)
3/4cupreduced-fat crumbled feta cheese
1/4cupdiced red onion
1/4cupcilantro,snipped

Instructions
Place the chicken in a saucepan large enough to hold the chicken pieces comfortably. Add enough cooking liquid (water) to cover the chicken. Bring the liquid to boiling on medium-high heat; reduce the heat. Cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink (170°F), about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook taco shells in the oven, according to the directions on the package.
Once chicken is fully cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and use two forks to shred the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the salsa verde.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the salsa verde chicken mixture into each taco shell. Top each taco with 1 tablespoon feta cheese, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
Sprinkle each taco with lime juice, if desired.
