- Rinse chicken breasts; pat dry with paper towels. Trim away and discard any fat.
- In a large heavy, deep skillet, bring chicken broth, garlic clove, chile pepper, and oregano leaves to a boil. Add chicken breasts; reduce heat to simmer; and poach, uncovered, until chicken is opaque throughout (cut to test), about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from stove and cool for 15 minutes in poaching liquid.
- Shred the breast meat. Combine taco sauce and lime juice. Pour over shredded chicken and toss. Transfer chicken to a large platter. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat taco shells according to package directions. Place heated shells in a basket lined with a thick kitchen towel, covering the shells. Place condiments in individual bowls.
- To serve arrange taco shells, shredded chicken, and condiments on a buffet table. Let guests assemble their own tacos
