Tasty Chicken Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Make the chicken: Fill a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet with about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until all of the thighs are between ¼ in (6 ml) and ⅓ inch (8 ml) thick.
• On the cutting board, season the flattened chicken on both sides with the salt.
• Add the panko, eggs, and flour to 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, then in the panko. Gently press the panko into the chicken to ensure a thick, even coating.
• Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set on paper towels to drain and immediately season lightly with salt.
• Make the tonkatsu sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
• Make the cabbage slaw: In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar, and salt until well coated. Season with additional salt if needed. Set aside.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
• Slice the chicken thighs into ⅓-inch (8 ml) thick pieces. Place about half of a thigh worth of meat onto a flour tortilla. Top with about ¼ cup (25 G) of cabbage slaw, a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro. Repeat with remaining chicken to make 8 tacos total. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts inside the Instant Pot.
• Add the chili powder, ground cumin, pepper, and garlic and toss until the chicken is coated on both sides. Add the salsa.
• Seal the lid in place until you hear the beep. Tip: Closing the lid can be tricky. Have the pressure knob at 11 o'clock and turn right.
• Press "Poultry" and set time to 13 minutes. Set pressure knob to "Sealing".
• Steam will release and the screen will say "On" before it starts counting down.
• Once the timer goes off, carefully turn the pressure knob to "Venting". Let all of the stream release before opening the lid.
• Shred the chicken with two forks.
• Serve with tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, or other desired toppings.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, pepper, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Place the onion, corn, tomatoes, jalapeño, garlic, and lime juice in a large slow cooker.
• Place the chicken thighs on top of the veggies and season with half of the taco seasoning. Turn the chicken over and season with the remaining taco seasoning before mixing the chicken and veggies together so that everything is well combined.
• Cook on the high setting for 3 hours or the low setting for 6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken and slice into small diced pieces, then place them back in the slow cooker. Give the chicken and veggies a good mix and replace the lid.
• Cook the chicken mixture for another 10 minutes so the flavors can marry.
• Using tongs or a slotted spoon, place the chicken taco mixture on corn tortillas and top with your choice of toppings.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Toss in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the shredded chicken, salt, sour cream, and lime juice. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture has heated through.
• Stir in the cilantro and immediately remove from heat.
• Pour the chicken mixture into a large serving bowl and toast the tortillas in the seasoned pan, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide the mixture evenly between tortillas, top with pico de gallo, and serve.
• Enjoy!
