Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6: Shred the cooked chicken using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7: Warm corn tortillas according to package directions.
Step 8: Serve chicken and sauce in warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
