The heat can be adjusted to your own taste by adding or cutting down on the chipotle peppers. It works well for a buffet, and is even more flavorful the next day.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken breast halves
5 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 medium tomatoes or 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granule

Steps:

  • Put the chicken into a large pot with 1/4 c sliced onion, garlic and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 25 minutes.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add remaining onion slices, and fry until transparent.
  • If using fresh tomatoes, place them in a pan of boiling water (can use water used to boil chicken) and boil until they split open.
  • Place the tomatoes, chipotle peppers (use 3-4 for a little heat, up to the whole can according to your taste), and boullion into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
  • Pour into a large pan and add the shredded chicken and cooked onions. Heat through.
