- 2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- Add oil to a large frying pan (you’ll need one with a lid) or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, just until softened. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute more. Remove from the heat.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers, salt, cumin, pepper, oregano, and paprika to a blender or a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the softened onion and garlic as well, secure the lid, and process until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the sauce has reached a simmer, add the chicken breasts. Cover with the lid slightly ajar and reduce the heat (as necessary) to maintain a simmer.
- Allow the chicken to simmer for 45-50 minutes, turning the breasts about half-way through the cooking process. Do not allow the bottom to burn.
- Once the chicken has fully cooked through, remove it from the sauce, transfer it to a work surface, and shred it using two forks. Then, return the chicken to the sauce and allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes more. Garnish with fresh cilantro (if using), serve, and enjoy!
