Calories: 402
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Water, as needed
- 12 crunchy taco shells
- 1-1/2 cups salsa verde (green salsa)
- 3/4 cup reduced-fat crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro, snipped
- 1/2 lime, juiced (optional)
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.
