Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    The best parts of this recipe are its simplicity/flexibility, and microwave instructions so everyone could assemble their own plate to microwave - great for 3 people, not so much for a crowd. I assumed small chicken breasts since they supposedly cook in 4 min per side, so I used 2 larger ones, halved horizontally. However, the sauce was very thin and bland, and the shredded chicken was practically drowning in it, so maybe she meant large (which you'd surely need to serve 12). Next time I'd only use 1 cup water and add some taco seasoning (which has thickener) to simmer in the sauce before adding the chicken. Otherwise, this was a fun dinner to serve with a variety of extra toppings: beans, shredded lettuce, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, sour cream, tomato, olives.

    This was the inspiration for a simple dinner (nachos & salad). I have already commented on the taco chicken recipe (needed some tweeking to boost flavour) & we added more toppings than she calls for (but she does suggest possible add ons). We added green onions and then a fresh pico de gallo after the bake with sour cream & Nigella's lovely roasted salsa for dipping. A fun and different dinner for us....I will try Chrissy Teigen's next time .
