Instructions

  • In a large stockpot or enamel dutch oven add your butter and onion to it. On medium heat, sautee the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sautee for another couple of minutes.
  • Add your chicken, chicken broth, rotel, tomato paste, cumin, taco seasoning, cayenne pepper and mix. Let it boil until your chicken is tender and can be pulled apart with a fork.
  • When the chicken is cooked, pull it out and shred it. Put it back into the pot and stir. If using rotisserie chicken this is the time to put it in as well.
