Start by filling a saucepan with lightly salted water and bringing it to a gentle boil.

Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth and vibrant sauce.

In a clean saucepan over medium-low heat, mix the shredded chicken with the blended sauce and add some sliced onion.
Step 9
Allow this to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become tender and translucent.
Step 10
Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste, making sure every bite is packed with flavor.
