What You'll Need:

+ 4 chicken breasts

+ 2 tbsp. EVOO

+ 1 yellow onion, halved (leave half of the onion whole, thinly slice other half)

+ 3 cloves garlic

+ 2 bay leaves

+ 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo

+ 14 oz. Fire roasted crushed tomatoes

+ 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced

+ 1 cup chicken broth

+ 1/2 tsp. Pepper

+ 1 tsp. Dried oregano

+ 1 tsp. Garlic powder

+ 1 tbsp. Carne con Chile (Adobo)

+ 1 tbsp + 2 tsp. Chicken Seasoning (divided)

To Assemble:

+ Refried Beans

+ Iceberg Lettuce, shredded

+ Cilantro

+ Crema (1 cup sour cream, juice of 1 lime, ½ cup half and half, 1 tsp. salt)

Steps:

1. In a large pot of water, add 4 chicken breasts, ½ onion, garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tbsp. Chicken Seasoning. Bring to a boil cook for approximately 12 min or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove bay leaves and reserve onion, garlic cloves, and 1 cup chicken broth.

2. Remove chicken and let rest for 5-10 min then shred – I use a stand mixer for this. Set aside.

3. To a blender, add reserved 1 cup of chicken broth, reserved half onion, reserved 3 garlic cloves, crushed tomatoes, 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo , 1 tbsp. Carne con Chile Adobo, 2 tsp. Chicken Seasoning, 1 tsp. Dried oregano, and ½ tsp. Pepper. Blend until smooth.

4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and saute thinly sliced onions and roma tomatoes for 2-3 min or until slightly translucent.
