Notes
- Extremely flavorful, this makes an excellent chicken taco but is great in other recipes like enchiladas or quesadillas.
- Make sure to use low-sodium chicken broth or stock so the end result isn’t too salty.
- Substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins.
- If you can’t find the tomato chicken bouillon, you can use plain chicken.
- If you can’t find the adobo seasoning, you can add a more garlic powder in it's place or leave it out.
- Reheat in the slow cooker, skillet, or microwave.
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, freeze for up to 3 months.
