Notes

  • This recipe makes a large batch of chicken. Use extra chicken to fill burritos, top salads or make entree style tacos throughout the week.
  • When assembling the taco bites, chicken can be cold and pulled straight from the fridge. It will reheat in the oven while the shells are baking. Top as directed.
