Raising four little boys, I know how important a solid nutritious meal is for my family. I am always on the lookout for simple and healthy meals that my whole family can enjoy. So, I thought I would take a moment to share one of my children’s favorite meals and something we can all agree on – Chicken Tacos!

How to Make Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tacos are one of the easiest weeknight meals you can prepare! We make tacos nearly weekly as they are so simple and are a healthy option that even the pickiest family members don’t complain about! Here’s how we make our chicken tacos.

Chicken Tacos Recipe

Dice up your fresh chicken breast or tenderloins into bite sized pieces. Add the chicken to a skillet and sprinkle with pepper. When the chicken is cooked almost all the way through, add taco seasoning as per package directions or make your own homemade taco seasoning mix. Be sure you add the water the packet calls for or even a bit extra as it will give you a bit of a taco sauce. Cook through and then reduce heat to low and let simmer until you are ready to serve.

How to make Chicken Tacos

Dice up a tomato and an onion. Prepare fresh cilantro and spinach as well by coarsely chopping it. Grate 1 cup of cheese. Warm flour tortillas on your stove top with a dry, clean skillet for 20-30 seconds per side. You’re now ready to enjoy! Just assemble your tacos adding in each family members preferences.

I am always looking for the highest quality products I can find. NatureRaised Farms® brand chicken is minimally processed and 100% all-natural! The chicken has no antibiotics, hormones or steroids added. Plus, all the chickens are raised cage-free in Wilkesboro, NC with an all-vegetarian diet. Together this gives a high quality product without all the fillers to give you delicious and healthy chicken! This makes my life one step easier by making it simpler to make healthy meal choices as a family.

NatureRaised Foods has a variety of chicken recipes available right on their website to give you even more inspiration for your weeknight meals! I want to try their Italian Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Salad recipe soon as it looks yummy or their Tangy Hot Chicken recipe, which is perfect for summer with very little prep and cooking on the grill to keep the heat outdoors.
