Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion (coarsely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 roma tomatoes (seeded)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin
Steps
-
In a medium pot, heat your olive oil over medium high heat and saute your onion until the onion is transparent, 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute just another minute.
-
Add your chicken broth, chicken breasts, prepared tomatoes, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring everything to a boil then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30-40 minutes.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it. Set aside.
-
Use a slotted spoon to remove all the tomatoes and onions from the pot and add them into a blender with ¾ cup of your boiling liquid. Blend until smooth. Discard the remaining liquid from the pot and return the pot to medium heat.
-
Add the chicken and blended mixture to the pot along with your oregano, chipotle pepper, and cumin. Cook the chicken in the sauce, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes. The chicken should be evenly coated and the sauce will reduce slightly. You can add additional salt and pepper to taste.
