Shredded Chicken Tacos with Lime Chipotle Aioli

Serves 2

These tacos are delicious (obviously, duh), full of good quality organic protein (30g of it to be exact) and a ton of raw veggies, provide over 70% of my daily fibre intake (Au Revoir sluggish bowels!) and have more antioxidants than you can shake a stick at. You might think that having a Taco night is considered a ‘cheat day’ but when they provide 200% and 180% of your Vitamin A & C requirements respectively, you might think again!

Oh and don’t even get me started on the glories of poaching chicken breasts…not only are they cooked without using any fats (like oils), it is so moist and versatile. I always have some shredded poached chicken in my fridge, as it is handy to throw in risottos, salad or in this case, in tacos to save you precious time in those Hangry moments when every second counts!
