Report
These creamy chicken tacos are the ultimate weeknight meal! They're quick, easy, satisfying, and delicious. Perfect for any night of the week! Filled with tender, juicy chicken in a rich, creamy taco sauce and topped with lettuce and red onion, these tacos are sure to please everyone at the table. The best part about these tacos is how simple they are to make. With just a handful of grocery store ingredients, you can create a flavorful dish that doesn't require hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon chicken broth (see note 1)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoon chicken taco seasoning (see note 2)
- 1½ lb chicken thighs skinless boneless (see note 3)
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine the chicken broth, lime juice, and chicken taco seasoning in a large bowl.2 tbsp chicken broth1 tbsp lime juice3 tbsp chicken taco seasoning
- Add chicken and turn to coat in the mixture.1½ lb / 680 g chicken thighs
- Place a large skillet/frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and cook chicken for 3 minutes on each side until seared.2 tbsp oil
- Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add the garlic; stir it around until it starts to smell aromatic. Then add in the sour cream and chicken broth. Bring to a low simmer.2 cloves garlic½ cup / 120 g sour cream½ cup / 120 ml chicken broth
- Meanwhile, shred (or chop the chicken) the chicken (see note 4).
- Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir well. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce reduces and starts to coat the chicken. If your sauce evaporates too quickly, add a bit of chicken broth (or even water).
- Once cooked, you can add extra salt if needed (see note 2)
Notes
- You can use vegetable or beef broth for this recipe. I buy the low salt/sodium varieties.
- I have a recipe for homemade chicken taco seasoning that I make it in batch. You can give that a go (it's delicious!) or buy your favorite brand from the store. Depending on the salt content of your chosen brand, you may need to add salt at the end of cooking.
- Use skinless and boneless thighs; you can also substitute for chicken breasts.You will find that some of the chicken isn't fully cooked at this point; don't worry. It is going back into the pan to cook in the sauce.
