Chicken Tacos

We used to make this a lot but hadn't had it in awhile. It's always just something I "throw together" with no recipe. Tonight I made it a completely different way, and the kids asked me to write it down so I wouldn't forget next time!

Chicken Tacos

5 chicken breasts (I had boneless in the freezer, but bone-in would be fine)
water to cover about half
1/2 tsp salt

Boil, covered, until chicken is done (maybe half an hour)

Remove chicken from broth. Remove half the broth and reserve; reduce the remaining broth by half. Meanwhile, shred the chicken. Put chicken back in the pot and add:

2 cans Rotel tomatoes with green chili
2 recipes taco seasoning
1 cup liquid - can be salsa, or water, or more broth.

Salt and pepper to taste

Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth or salsa if you need more liquid.

Serve with the usual fixins - shells or tortillas, lettuce, tomato, etc.

This served 8 hungry people with enough left over for lunch tomorrow.
