CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Chicken Noodle Soup

The past week in Ohio has been, HELL, weather wise. This winter has been mild, and not so bad, until a week ago. We dropped down in temperature to single digits; and today we hit rock bottom, below 0; -5 and snowing! I decided today would be a great day to bring homemade chicken noodle soup to y'all and then how to can it (without noodles, you cannot can noodles; that is why I cooked noodles separate from the chicken soup).


What You Need:

Organic Chicken Thighs {or breasts}
Organic Celery (you want two stalks and the leaves)
2 Organic Dried Bay Leaves 
6-8 Organic Carrots, shredded (save the peels!) and chopped in big pieces
Half the Organic Onion, minced
Dried Parsley, sprinkle as much or little as you want
Stock Pot


Add the chicken with salt, pepper, bay leaves, parsley into a stock pot; filled with water, over filled


Chopped celery and carrots, and place in the pot right away (leaves on celery is heeling and good for you!) Allow this to simmer for 3-4 hours, the longer the more tender your chicken, make sure to check the water level, and add more as needed! I had to refill a bunch. Be sure to season with salt really well! 

(Sorry I did not show this in pictures! OOPS!)

After your chicken is done, remove from pot, and shred with your fingers, place back in pot, and add a few more carrots. Continue to boil. While this boils, start a pot full of water, heavily salted for your noodles; as I said I cook the noodle separate therefore I can, can the soup whatever is left over and freeze the extra noodles. Once the noodles are done; I used these...


Take a ladle full of noodles, add to your bowl, and add soup on top, stir with a spoon and allow the noodles to absorb the chicken flavor for 3 minutes; salt to taste. 


Best soup ever! PROMISE! Helps heal the sick!!
