Sarah's Shredded Chicken Burritos & Cold War Kids

This technique to do chicken is the BEST! My sister, Sarah, who was visiting recently (Sarah, COME BACK!) found this technique through David'sFreeRecipes for his chicken tacos. We made burritos but I've never had such juicy, flavorful chicken in homemade burritos before! You can use the chicken in a salad, taco, enchilada… you name it. It's now named in our family as Sarah's chicken. So everyone says, "Are we making Sarah's chicken tonight?" or, "Can we have Sarah's chicken tonight?" Let's just say, it's very popular. 

And guess what? It's so easy!

Shredded Chicken Burritos:

Ingredients:

1.5 Lbs Chicken Breast Filets (1 package), rinsed and patted dry

3-4 Cups Water

1 tsp Salt

1/3 tsp Pepper

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

2 tsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Dried Oregano

1/4 tsp Cumin

Fixings:

Warmed Flour Burrito Tortillas

Shredded Lettuce

Sour Cream

Salsa

Guacamole

Refried Beans

Cilantro

In a cast iron pot or large saucepan on the stove, place the chicken on the bottom and fill the pot with enough water to just cover the chicken. This will take about 3-4 cups of water. Measure your spices and add them to your water and  chicken. Bring the pot to a boil for ten minutes and then lower to a simmer, then let cook for 30-35 minutes with the lid on, slightly skewed. The water should be cooked down until only a little is left. 
When poked, the chicken should fall apart, and you can now shred it up. If you feel there is too much liquid left, bring it back to a boil until there's a little less water. Once the chicken is ready, have a warmed flour tortilla ready with your fixings and roll it up & enjoy!!
