Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- 1 pinch chili powder
Instructions
1
Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan and submerge them under water, allowing it to reach a rolling boil over medium heat. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes.
2
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a bowl and permit them to cool down slightly before using two forks to shred or pull the meat apart into smaller pieces.
3
Heat a moderate amount of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onions to the pan and cook until they become transparent, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Introduce the shredded chicken into the saucepan, followed by a can of tomato sauce, some ground cumin, and a pinch of chili powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, then gradually decrease the heat to a low setting and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
