Shredded Chicken for Tacos

Ingredients: Shredded Chicken

1 1/2lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs ( about 4-5 )
4 cups water
1 teas. salt
1/3 teas. pepper
1/2 teas. garlic powder
1 teas. onion powder
2 teas. chili powder
1 teas. dry oregano
1/4 teas. cumin powder

Method: Shredded Chicken

Put all of the ingredients in sauce pan big. Bring it to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low to medium low and simmer for about 30 minutes with the lid cracked. You’re looking for a nice little bubble.
After about 40 minutes, most but not all of the liquid should have evaporated and the chicken should be falling apart when poked with a spoon or spatula. Go ahead and shred it with your spatula or spoon and remove from heat to cool slightly. It’s ready for tacos.

For Instant Pot
Cut chicken into smaller pieces. add 1 cup of water and spices
