Our Family's Favorite Recipe

I just wanted to share our family's favorite recipe.  We usually enjoy these on Tuesday's, as we got the idea to have "Taco Tuesday" from the "Lego Movie!"  Now I always know what we are going to have on Tuesday's for dinner.  I must admit, I give the Pioneer Woman credit for the spices in this recipe!  Here it is!

Chicken Tacos
1 teaspoon chili powder
