Oregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a steady simmer and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 15–18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
While the chicken poaches, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so it doesn't brown. Add the chili powder, cumin, and oregano and stir for 30 seconds until the spices are toasted and deeply fragrant.
