Chicken Tacos

This is a good recipe for chicken tacos that are a little different than what we usually make. It comes from Cook's Country.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

1/2 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

salt and pepper


Directions

Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chipotle and cook about 30 seconds. Stir in orange juice, Worcestershire, and ½ cup cilantro. Bring mixture to a boil and then add chicken. Cover the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over and continue to simmer until the chicken is done (160 degrees), about 5 to 10 minutes more.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it with foil to keep it warm and let it rest.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook until liquid is reduced to ¼ cup, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and whisk in mustard.

Using two forks, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to skillet. Add remaining cilantro and stir everything until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve with tortillas and all your favorite taco toppings.
