This has become one of my “go-to” recipes each week. I love having shredded chicken on hand to throw on top of a salad or throw in a wrap for an easy, healthy lunch. I make a big batch and save it for the entire week. It’s also Whole30 which is a plus!!
It’s so versatile! My favorite products to use with this are Maria and Ricardo’s Sprouted Grain Tortillas, Sieté Taco Seasoning, and Tessemae’s Ranch Dressing. I also love to top with almonds and plantain chips!
