Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lb chicken thighs, boneless skinless About 4–6 thighs
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped Adjust to taste
  • ½ cup onion, finely diced
  • 2 cups tomatoes, diced Fresh or canned
  • 5 cups chicken broth Low-sodium preferred
  • ¾ tsp salt Adjust to taste
  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning Store-bought or homemade
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¾ cup sour cream For dairy-free, substitute with coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and jalapeños, sautéing until softened (about 3–5 minutes).
  2. Add chicken thighs to the pot, browning on all sides (3–4 minutes per side).
  3. Stir in tomatoes, taco seasoning, and salt. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to the pot.
  6. Stir in sour cream until well combined and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3–4 days. For freezing, omit the sour cream and add it fresh when reheating.
