Method
- Cover the chicken breasts with water, add salt, and simmer 20 minutes. Save 250 ml of the broth. Shred the chicken.
- Blend the tomatoes with chipotle in adobo, garlic, Mexican oregano, black pepper and the reserved chicken broth until smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil and soften the sliced onion without browning, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining garlic for 1 minute.
- Pour in the sauce and cook 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, cover, and simmer 20 minutes until the sauce coats the meat. Taste for salt.
Shopping tip
Chipotle in adobo is the hard line: look in the world-food aisle or a Latin shop. Canned peeled tomatoes stand in for Roma tomatoes. Orégãos comuns if Mexican oregano is missing.
