Taco Chicken ~ An Easy Weeknight Dish

October 23, 2015 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Taco Chicken is an easy weeknight recipe and don’t we all need more of those? I like recipes that use simple ingredients I tend to have on hand. Taco Chicken is also easily adaptable to your family’s taste. You can adjust the spiciness by changing the amount of taco seasoning or using salsa instead of tomato paste. Feel free to top it with anything you happen to like on tacos – black olives, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes. I used sliced green onions and a dollop of sour cream because that’s what I happened to have on hand.

I like to serve it with rice, a green salad and tortilla chips with salsa. Black beans would be another good side dish.
