10-Minute Mexican Chicken

 


Ingredients:

  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 14.5 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes (I food processed this to minimize the tomato "chunks.")
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons canned mild chopped green chiles (from a 4 ounce can) (I threw these in the food processor with the fire roasted tomatoes.)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (I did not use.)

Directions:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • To skillet, add chicken and all seasonings; stir to evenly coat. Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste (if using), and green chilies. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Add additional water/chicken broth if chicken seems dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cayenne pepper (optional) to taste.
  • Use chicken in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, salads, nachos, burrito bowls, etc.
