This is truly the best chicken taco I have ever tried! Whip It Up With Jay deserves a 5-star for this amazing snack. Unlike other recipes, the tortilla is dipped in a broth mixture before frying – it’s incredibly delicious. The chicken, on the other hand, is well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. You will never go wrong with this recipe.

Instructions:
Step 1:
In a small bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Next, squeeze half of a lime and mix everything.
Step 2:
In a different bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of paprika.
Step 3:
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Generously sprinkle the seasonings on the chicken. Rub it in and make sure that everything is coated.
Step 4:
Drizzle some oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken and sear at medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Do not constantly flip the chicken. Let it sit and just turn it once. Remove from pan and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
Step 5:
In a different bowl, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and hot sauce. Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preference. Mix them well.
Step 6:
Place your pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, dip the tortilla in the broth mixture and toss it into your pan. Cook each side until it’s a bit browned. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 7:
Remove the chicken from the oven and slice it into small pieces.
Step 8:
Assemble your taco. Get the cooked tortilla, then add the chicken and veggies. Serve and enjoy!
