Chicken Taco Chili

This meal is super versatile. We used it served over rice the first night, and there was so much left over the next day they it was used served over a cheese crisp for one, and in a burrito for another. I also used it as a nacho topping for an afternoon snack on my day off. The chicken stays super moist, and shreds with minimal effort. Especially at around 200 calories per serving, this is hard to beat.
