Cook the onion in a wide pan for 3 minutes to soften it.

Spread the chicken in the pan and fry for 8 minutes, avoiding frequent stirring so the strands can crisp.

Mix the onion with the chicken and heat for 2 more minutes.

💡 Tip: Pulling the chicken into fine strands creates more crisp surface in the pan. Do not leave the shredded chicken in lime for too long, because it seasons quickly and browns easily.
