Unique Chicken Tacos image

A great weekend recipe. But be prepared, they go fast. This is one of those "pantry" dishes. I began making something before I checked my pantry for the ingredients. Hence, "pantry dish". I don't know why, but those are the dishes that seem to be great. This is no exception. It is light but very filling.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 tacos, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 chicken breasts (skin and bone-in)
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with lime and cilantro (Ro- Tel)
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (I use Ro- Tel habanero peppers)
1/2 cup water
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, Seasoned
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (Shredded)
1/2 cup buttermilk ranch dressing
1/2 cup lettuce (shredded)
taco shell (I used the one that stand on their own)

Steps:

  • In a deep skillet fitted with a lid, place chicken breast. Top with both cans of Tomatoes along with the water. Cover and simmer unitl fork tender. Remove chicken from skillet. De-bone and remove skin. Chunk up and return to the skillet to allow the juices to penetrate the meat, approx 30 - 45 minutes on low, or until desired consistency. Meanwhile, heat beans in a seperate pan and cook taco shells according to package directions.
  • To build the taco- divide cheese equally into each taco shell, next layer - beans - chicken and tomatoes next, top with ranch and then lettuce.
  • Enjoy.
  • PS this make plenty of chicken, it freezes great for another round at a later date. I keep it on hand and add it to number of dishes. Watch for more recipes using this chicken.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some cooked chicken in the fridge and these tacos are a quick and easy way to turn it into a delicious meal.

I was a bit skeptical about the pineapple in the salsa, but it really works. It adds a nice sweetness that balances out the heat of the jalapeƱo.
