    Serves

  • 1 tbsp. Knorr® Bouillon Cubes Tomato With Chicken Flavor or 1 Knorr® Tomato Bouillon with Chicken flavor Cube, crumbled
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tsp plus 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup chopped white onion
  • 4 large plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp. chipotle chile powder
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 20 corn tortillas, warmed according to package directions
  • rice:
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • salad:
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 large tomato, cut in wedges
  • 6 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

  1. Start by cooking the brown rice in water according to package directions. Meanwhile, begin to prepare your tacos. Sprinkle Knorr® Tomato Bouillon with Chicken flavor over chicken breasts, rubbing into chicken to coat.

  2. Heat 2 tsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour water into skillet; cover, reduce heat and simmer, turning chicken once, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, 8 to 10 minutes for small breasts, 10 to 12 minutes for larger breasts.

  3. Remove chicken to plate; refrigerate until cool enough to handle. Pour cooking liquid into bowl and set aside.

  4. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over high heat and cook onion stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 minutes.

  5. Stir in chile powder, garlic and reserved cooking liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile shred chicken.

  6. Stir chicken and any juices into skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until very thick and chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

  7. Have your family build their own tacos. Start by stacking 2 tortillas topped with chicken, and, if desired, taco toppings of your choice.

  8. Finally, toss the salad greens, tomato wedges and oil and vinegar in a salad bowl.

  9. Serve tacos with salad and rice.
