EASY SPICY MEXICAN-AMERICAN CHICKEN



Easy Spicy Mexican-American Chicken image

My husband is Mexican, and he loves spicy chicken from the supermarket. I was trying to recreate one of the spicy packaged chicken dishes at home, and that's what i came up with. Chicken thighs are softer and juicier. It is very spicy and tangy, easy to make, and he loves it!

SPICY SHREDDED CHICKEN



Spicy Shredded Chicken image

I love Mexican food, but not the high calorie count that often comes with it. This easy dish is healthy, delicious and a definite crowd pleaser! I like to serve the chicken with warm tortillas, rice, beans and salsa. For an equally awesome dish, you can substitute beef or pork for the chicken. -Heather Walker, Scottsdale, Arizona
