  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken breast. With a spatula, break the chicken breast up so it cooks evenly. Lower heat to medium low. When chicken is almost cooked, add the taco seasoning. Mix. Add water and stir well.
