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.

Ranch Chicken

Chicken is a highly requested food in our house. The kids love chicken, which is good because we try to stay away from red meat (a least not all the time, maybe once a week- we much rather ground turkey or chicken). Kailee is obsessed with ranch, chicken and anything crispy! I figured this would be a great recipe to share finally. This is super simple, you can make it up fast, double the recipe or triple it if you wish. I like making my potato wedges or my au gratin potatoes. I also love pairing this chicken with some hearts of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and a bit of organic ranch. Onward with the recipe...


You Will Need:

2-3 Organic Grass-Fed Chicken Breast 
1 Cup Crispy Onions
1/4 Cup Organic Butter, melted
3 tbsp Homemade Ranch Seasoning



Crush onion crisps, place in ziplock with homemade ranch seasoning


Dip chicken in melted butter


Place chicken in the bag with your onion crisps and make sure it is thoroughly coated


Oil your pan before placing chicken in pan


Bake chicken at 350 for 20 minutes, turn chicken over and continue cooking about 20 minutes (or until chicken is done)


I made roasted organic potatoes, organic salad, with homemade organic ranch and organic green beans to go with this absolutely amazing chicken (so moist and so yummy)
