Chicken Tinga
Report
If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, you have to try chicken tinga! This delicious dish is a classic from the Puebla region and is made with shredded chicken that's been simmered in a flavorful tomato-based sauce with smoky chipotle peppers. The result is a savory, slightly spicy, and oh-so-tasty dish that's perfect for tacos, tostadas, or just served over rice. Trust me, once you taste it, you'll be hooked!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 roma tomatoes seeded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat your olive oil over medium high heat and saute your onion until the onion is transparent, 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute just another minute.
- Add your chicken broth, chicken breasts, prepared tomatoes, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring everything to a boil then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30-40 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it. Set aside.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove all the tomatoes and onions from the pot and add them into a blender with ¾ cup of your boiling liquid. Blend until smooth. Discard the remaining liquid from the pot and return the pot to medium heat.
- Add the chicken and blended mixture to the pot along with your oregano, chipotle pepper, and cumin. Cook the chicken in the sauce, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes. The chicken should be evenly coated and the sauce will reduce slightly. You can add additional salt and pepper to taste.
