Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3

Add Ingredients

Chop the chipotle peppers and add them to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

4

Cook the Sauce

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the chicken back to the pot. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

5

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return it to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

6

Serve

Serve the Chicken Tinga on tortillas or with rice, garnished with avocado, cilantro, or lime if desired.
