Chicken Tostadas

Tonight we had chicken tostadas for dinner. This was my first time cooking with organic chicken and I am such a huge fan! Each chicken breast was individually vacuum packed and it was even a little cheaper than the regular boneless, skinless breasts I usually buy!
I poached the chicken with some onion and garlic and then shredded it. I could definitely tell that this was higher quality meat when shredding the chicken; there were way fewer gross parts and my appetite didn't waver at all which always seemed to happen when I dealt with the regular chicken in the past.
As I shredded the chicken I sautéed some onions in olive oil and then added some taco seasoning and minced garlic when the onions were soft. I let it cook for a few minutes and then added the shredded chicken and about 3/4 cup of water.
As that cooked I warmed some tostada shells in the oven while chopping some avocado, tomato, jalepeno, and cilantro.
Put it all together, top with cheese and I was ready to feed the Lyon!
