- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish to surround the chicken, ensuring chicken is submerged halfway in liquid.
Step 4
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 6
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, and set them aside as taco shells.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the shredded chicken on each lettuce leaf. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
Step 9
Enjoy your Paleo Shredded Chicken Tacos!
