Prepare the Chicken

In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Chop the chipotle peppers and add them to the pot along with the diced tomatoes. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Return the chicken to the pot, along with the chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Cook the Chicken

Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir to combine with the sauce.

Final Seasoning

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
