SARAH'S EASY SHREDDED CHICKEN TACO FILLING
I put this together one day, wanting tacos, but I did not want ground beef. It is fast to make, as no slow cooker is needed. Serve warmed as a substitute for ground beef in tacos, and serve in a taco shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts into a saucepan and pour in enough water to cover. Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer until chicken meat is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a bowl, allow to cool, and shred the chicken meat with 2 forks.
- Heat vegetable oil in a small non-stick saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir onion until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix in the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, and tomato sauce; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is hot and the flavors have blended, about 3 minutes.

SHREDDED CHICKEN FOR TACOS
Just about any food that fits on a tortilla has found its way into some type of taco, but this shredded chicken remains an easy weeknight staple. Poached in a simple broth of onion, garlic and spices, the chicken stays moist and is infused with flavor. You could opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts; add some fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeño to the liquid; use a glug of light beer, if you have some on hand. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces and it's ready to be tucked into a taco with little more than some pico de gallo. You could freeze the resulting stock for future use or even boil it until thickened to drizzle it over the meat. The rules here are far from ironclad, but the fail-proof method guarantees an easy building block for tacos and beyond.

Steps:
- Mix water and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and sugar; mix well.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add tomato sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken breasts from the pan and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Return shredded chicken to the pan with the tomato sauce. Cook and stir until chicken is coated with sauce and sauce reduces a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving bowl and spoon onto taco shells.
