Scale
- 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (Cooked until tender and shredded)
- 2 cups Tomatoes (Fresh or canned, peeled and chopped)
- 1 medium Onion (Finely chopped)
- 2–3 pieces Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (Finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For sautéing)

Instructions
- In a large pot, add the chicken breast and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Shred the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute.
