Notes
Tips
Thicken it up! Add a bit of cornstarch to this seasoning mix if you'd like to thicken up the sauce in the pan. About 1 tbsp should do the job.
This recipe makes about 10 tablespoons of taco seasoning which is the equivalent of three packets of store bought taco seasoning. Use about 2 tablespoons of seasoning pound of chicken. You can use ground chicken, boneless skinless chicken breasts, or even boneless skinless chicken thighs.
To enhance the flavor of this seasoning, add a little tomato sauce or ro-tel to the pan when cooking the meat. Taco seasoning typically has tomato powder in it so adding about a 1/2 cup of tomato sauce really gives it a beautiful authentic flavor.
