Ingredients

    1 finely chopped medium onion
    2 Tbsp chicken broth
    1 Tbsp minced garlic
    2 TBsp Chili powder
    2 tsp ground cumin
    2 tsp Splenda
    2 8 oz cans Tomato Sauce
    1 cup water
    1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Sweat the onion in the broth in a large saucepan. Stir in the spices and cook until fragrant - about 30 seconds. Stir in the water and tomato sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened - about 5 minutes. Nestle the chicken in to the sauce so it is completely (or mostly) covered. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the thickest part has reached 160 degrees (12-30 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts).

Transfer the chicken to a plate and allow to cool. Once the chicken has cooled, shred in to bite sized pieces. Return to pan with sauce and warm through.

Note: I use 2 forks to shred the chicken. One to hold the chicken, and the other to shred.
