Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast! I’m your host, Ben Harper, and today we’re diving into a dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your home: the ultimate chicken tacos. This isn’t just any taco recipe; it's a culinary adventure that promises a flavor explosion with every bite.

Let’s start with the essentials. For this recipe, you’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, olive oil, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, chicken broth, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and of course, tortillas. And for that extra touch? Cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, avocado, and if you like, some crumbled queso fresco.

Now, why does this recipe stand out? It’s all in the seasoning. The combination of cumin and chili powder gives the chicken a deep, smoky flavor, while fresh cilantro and a dash of lime bring a bright zestiness that lifts the whole dish.

Here’s how you make it: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onions until translucent. Add garlic, and after a minute, toss in the tomatoes, chilies, spices, and chicken broth. Bring this to a simmer before nestling in the chicken breasts. Cook until the chicken is done, then let it rest before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

But the secret to these tacos? It’s the fresh toppings. Layer your shredded chicken on warm tortillas and top with cheese, onions, tomatoes, and avocado. A sprinkle of queso fresco adds a delightful finish.

And don’t forget the sides! Serve these tacos with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans to round out the meal.

Remember, the best dishes are ones that bring people together, and these chicken tacos are just the ticket. Whether you’re gathering around the table with family or enjoying a fun evening with friends, these tacos are sure to be a hit.
