Familia,
I inherited this recipe from my sister Jessica and added/changed some ingredients.
"BUEN PROVECHO"
Tinga A La Mexicana
Ingredientes:
6 Half Boneless Chicken Breasts (Or 3 chicken whole breasts)
1 large onion
4 large fresh tomatoes diced
2 cans diced tomatoes (12 to 14 ounces each)
1 can Rotelle Tomatoes
2 pickled chipotle peppers
1 to 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
A dash of ANY other spices you like that are NOT too overwhelming such as oregano, cummin, rosemary....nothing that strong. I use different ones each time, from the spice rack.
Boil chicken breasts in medium pan for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken breasts from liquid and let cool. Save chicken broth.
Cut up onion and dice tomatoes into small pieces. in large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil to medium heat, add onions and sutee until transparent, adding more oil if needed. Add fresh tomatoes ,can tomatoes and rotelle tomatoes, cover and simmer in low heat.
Shred Chicken breasts, stir into tomato/onion mixture, add chipotle peppers whole, season to taste, cover and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes. Add some of the chicken broth as needed. (I like my Tinga a bit drier, not too "soupy", but it's a matter of taste). Stir occassionally and use the spoon to break up the chipotle peppers.
Serve as a main dish, or over rice, or over tostadas that have been spread with refried beans, or use as filling for Burritos, or in a plain tortilla, or anything else you'd like.
!BUEN PROVECHO!

YEA!!!! Thanks Raka for sharing. That sounds so tasty my mouth is watering! Is it spicy? I can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
This was sooo good mom! Thanks for having it ready when we got back from fixing up the loft! We're thinking about making it Sunday when we get back from our camping trip!
M'hijito and Aunt Deibie,
I forgot to put in the recipe that a can of "Rotelle Tomatoes" is SUPER good in it too. It gives it that Mexican Taste PUNCH!
I'll add it to the original recipe.
ENJOY!
Hey mama...
we made this last week.. Super good! Love the recipe. We had to defrost some of our chicken in the microwave and this is something I'll avoid in the future. You coudl tell which pieces had been defrosted and which had not. This tastes better the second and third days! I love food like that!
