Ingredients

- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 2 sweet pepper chopped - I used Hungarian Wax, small
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 chicken breast medium

- 2 tomato chopped, large
- 1 7- ounce chipotle peppers in adobo canned
- 7 ounces water

Instructions
- Heat a large pot to medium heat and add olive oil.
- Add onion and sweet peppers and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic and stir. Cook another minute.
- Season chicken with seasonings and salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Sear each side a couple minutes.
- Add tomatoes, chipotle peppers and water. Stir.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Shred chicken with a fork and stir the mixture. Increase heat a bit and simmer another 20 minutes to reduce the mixture slightly. Stir.
