This chicken dish is a revelation. It’s spicy, smoky, flavorful and, best of all, quick and easy! Cut your chicken into strips, saute some onions and garlic, throw in spices and chicken broth, and let it simmer. I was amazed just how much flavor and heat this dish had. The sides were also easy. I made some white rice and added a spoonful of tomato paste and a pinch of oregano in the pot to give it some flavor. I also simmered a can of black beans in a pot with chicken broth. Two quick and easy sides that highlight a great dish.

You can also make a taco night out of it. Put out taco shells, beans, chopped red onions, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro and have yourself a party! Don’t forget to serve margaritas.

If you are one of those people who use seasoning packets to get that taco seasoning flavor, you need to stop right now. This blend will blow that stuff out of the water. It’s just cumin, oregano, paprika and chipotle powder. But together, these spices make something very special. Oh, and another great thing is that it’s made out of pantry staples so you can make it on a weeknight when you just don’t have the energy to run  to the store for ingredients.
