Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 small white onion, sliced thinly
• 0.5 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• 0.75 cup chipotle salsa

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a saucepan of lightly-salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook chicken in simmering water until until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and tear into shreds using 2 forks.

Step 2

Blend stewed tomatoes, chipotle salsa, and apple cider vinegar in a blender until smooth.

Step 3

Combine shredded chicken, blended sauce, and onion in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook at a simmer until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
