Chicken Breast

Chicken breast is the most widely used cut in everyday Mexican cooking. It forms the base of chicken tinga, pollo en mole verde, green enchiladas, and shredded chicken tacos. It is simmered in chicken stock with herbs to keep it moist and tender, then shredded by hand into fine, flavourful strands.
