Things have been SO crazy lately. In a good way, but crazy nonetheless! We’re looking for a house, and let’s just say it’s been an emotional rollercoaster (read more about it in the Healthy Chicken Fajita Tacos post). Don’t get me wrong, it’s so much fun and such an exciting time in life! Definitely don’t want to take it for granted. We’ve learned so much through this process!
If you’ve been through the house hunting process, I’d LOVE to know what your tips would be! My biggest struggle is getting emotionally attached to every house we see (LOL). It’s like a break up every time we don’t get the house! <— Don’t worry, I’m working on this thing!
All that to say, we’re super excited about potentially moving soon! If you want to follow along, be sure to follow the journey over on my personal Instagram. But moving is CRAZY, y’all. And I’m finding it’s even crazier post marriage. We have tons of lovely home items that people gave us for our wedding, all our new furniture, my overflowing closet (oops!), and (ahem) my breakfast bowl/blog props collection. <—- It might be time to sort through some of this stuff!
The good thing is that the packing process will really force me to consider what we use and don’t use, which I’m finding to be like 2.5% of everything we have. Ok, I SO did not do the math on that, but you get my point! The down side to packing (other than hello packing DUH)? Trying to figure out how to continue cooking meals without accidentally packing up the things you need!
All that to say, these Healthy Sriracha Shredded Chicken Tacos are perfect for this season of life!
They’re SO easy to make and DELICIOUS. Just bake the Sriracha coated chicken for 30 minutes, shred it, chop up some veggies, and put it all in corn tortillas. The best healthy dinner for a crazy season like mine right now!
These tacos are similar to the Sriracha Lime Shrimp Tacos, but use chicken instead (and are a little less hands on). Also, this is my favorite Sriracha for both of those recipes!
What are your favorite recipes during a crazy busy season? And any house hunting tips?

Is this 128 cals per taco or the whole meal?
Christine McMichael replied:
The calorie count is per taco. Enjoy! 🙂
Kelsey says:
Amazing recipe! I am always searching for healthier meals that don’t require an insane amount of ingredients. This recipe was perfect. However, my boyfriend is a baby when it comes to “spicy” food so we left out the sriracha. We just seasoned the chicken, baked it in the oven, and then shredded it. We put the chicken in separate bowls and he mixed his with teriyaki and I mixed mine with Frank’s buffalo sauce. Both were good! However, if you don’t mind spice, I recommend Frank’s 🙂

This was a bit dry, but we decided to add avocado, taco sauce, and lots more lime juice, and my hubby and I enjoyed these quite a bit. Next time we’ll add plain Greek yogurt (or light sour cream), too. I loved the idea of putting sriracha directly on chicken. Thanks for the recipe! It was super easy.
Izzy says:
Hi!! I would like to know , is it 128 calories per taco!! Thank you!!
Christine McMichael replied:
Yes, that is correct 🙂 Enjoy!
Lindsey says:
This is literally one of my favorite recipes ever!!! It is SO good. Very quick & easy not to mention cheap. The feta and sriracha really compliment each other. I usually make homemade guac and salsa as a side and top the tacos with cilantro. Always make extra chicken to use for homemade quesadillas which is SO good as well. Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Christine McMichael replied:
So glad to hear that, Lindsey! 🙂 That homemade guac sounds AMAZING!
Jen says:
It was really good and incredibly easy! I made some guacamole too:)
Christine McMichael replied:

Abdallah says:
What kind of peppers do you use for the siracha shredded chicken tacos recipe?
Christine McMichael replied:
Hello! I used mini sweet peppers because it’s what I had on hand, but regular bell peppers work great as well!
Laura says:
Oh my gosh delicious! I added black beansbas a side dish! Yum!!!
