I have a fully stocked spice cupboard ,tell me some new combos to use with the chicken

Answer 1

Instead of boiling the chicken, saute with some onions, peppers and garlic. You can season the entire mix after with a bit of chili powder, cumin and cilantro. Lots of flavor, and great on either a taco or burrito!

Answer 2

Salsa Chicken Burritos
INGREDIENTS
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup salsa
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
hot sauce to taste
DIRECTIONS
Place chicken breasts and tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then add the salsa, seasoning, cumin, garlic and chili powder. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
With a fork, start pulling the chicken meat apart into thin strings. Keep cooking pulled chicken meat and sauce, covered, for another 5 to 10 minutes. Add hot sauce to taste and stir together (Note: You may need to add a bit of water if the mixture is cooked too high and gets too thick.)
