Add Step-by-Step Photos	Wolfpackjack / All my dishes 7 months, 2 weeks ago Great, healthy, chicken filler for taco night. I like it better than using chicken breast. The thighs are juicier and sweeter. Prep:15m Cook:35m Servings:8	Wolfpackjac

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken thighs

1 large white onion, peeled and quartered

5 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed

2 bay leaves

1 Tbsp ground cummin

1 ancho chili

Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and add enough water to cover the chicken.

Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, and skim any foam that comes to the surface.

Partially cover saucepan, reduce heat to a steady simmer.

Cook until meat is tender, ~ 30 minutes. Remove from liquid and cool.

Shred the chicken meat with your fingers. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Use within a couple of days in a Taco with some "Salsa Fresca" and "Perfect Guacamole"
