Tomatillo Chicken Tacos
Tomatillo Chicken Tacos | This flavorful chicken can be used for tacos or sandwiches! Look below for my idea on how you can take these from tacos one night and a delicious sandwich the next! Plus, a shortcut idea!
These tacos are so easy to make and full of flavor. You can roast your own chicken, purchase a roasted chicken from your store deli or use leftover chicken from the night before. Also another option is to use the chicken for sandwiches instead of tacos. Just add toppings and ciabatta rolls. The perfect semi homemade dinner for TWO nights!
