Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts, 2 teaspoons of salt, peppercorns, onion, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and water in a large pot.
- Cover the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the water is simmering, cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) when pierced with an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, pull the chicken apart until shredded.
- In a large nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the corn, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt and sauté until the vegetables have softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chipotle peppers and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the shredded chicken and mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Add the lime juice and mix to incorporate.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the chicken cool for 5 minutes before spooning into the lettuce leaves.
- Top with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy!
