Equipment

  • 1 Small Casserole Dish
  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breast
  • 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 Peaches, Roughly Chopped
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 Lime, Juiced You can also use 2-3 key limes.
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil You can also use avocado oil.
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Tortillas

  • 6-8 Warm Tortillas I used Siete Almond Flour Tortillas and Cassava Flour Tortillas.

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding roughly chopped peaches, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and black pepper into the food processor. Pulse a a few times until it becomes a chunky salsa consistency.
  • Next, add chicken breast into a small casserole dish. Pour the peach salsa on top of the chicken until it's fully covered.
  • Bake the chicken for 30-40 minutes at 375 degrees.
  • Finally, remove the baked chicken from the casserole dish and place in a large bowl. Shred with a hand mixer or two forks then add it back into the salsa and stir well.
  • Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite taco toppings!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Shred the chicken with two forks for thicker chunks. Use a hand mixer to save time - just add the baked chicken without the salsa into a bowl. Blend the chicken until finely shredded then stir back into the salsa.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely covered with salsa before baking.
  • Don't puree the salsa mixture, use the "pulse" setting on your food processor to break it down into a chunky mixture.
  • If you use a thicker cut of chicken breast it will cook require more time in the oven. Usually, 35-40 minutes is perfect.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in a glass container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze for 2-3 months in a freezer safe container.
