Combine meat with an 8 oz can of tomato sauce, 3 tablespoons tomato paste, and 3 tablespoons Chicken Taco Seasoning, and continue to cook stirring regularly until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the meat is coated in the tomato and seasoning.To marinate chicken breast or thighs: For more great easy dinner inspiration, sign up for our emails here!
