Spicy Shredded Chipotle Chicken

 


Nachos are my most favorite food! Guess not the most healthy, but it is one pleasure; not giving up... This recipe is perfect for nachos, tacos and salads. "Spicy, saucy and delish" pinchofyum.com check it out!

Ingredients:

  • 3 individual chipotle peppers in adobo sauce + teaspoon to the sauce
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
Direction:
Mince the chipotle peppers and garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chipotle; saute for 1-2 minutes, stirrring constantly.

Add the orange juice, chicken broth and cilantro and to the heat to high to bring to a boil.

Add the split chicken breasts; cover and reduce to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken breasts are cooked through.

Remove the chicken and cool for a few minutes before cutting into bite size pieces.

Keep the sauce on low heat and whisk in the mustard and cook until sauce is reduced by half. I added some salt and pepper adjusting to taste.

Add the chicken and top with fresh cilantro.
