¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
½ tsp salt

½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup scallion greens, thinly sliced
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, drained

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5 minutes per side, until golden on the outside. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for an additional 8–10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
