Instructions

Step 1
Add onion to food processor and finely chop. Fry the onion with jalapeño (optional tbh, hard to get fresh but flavourful enough as is) Wait until softened then add the garlic.
Step 2
Blend the tomato and chipotle. And keep mixture to the side a second.
Step 3
Add chicken into the pan and cook a couple a mins on each side to brown the surface. Once brown add the chipotle sauce mixture. Add in the remaining seasoning. And a little water if needed.
Step 4
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and Leave to cook for about 30 mins on medium heat until chicken cooks, add in a bit of water if needed. Basically ignore it - dont let the water be too aggressive of a boil because the chicken might go tough.
Step 5
Once cooked take chicken out and shred. (Can do in mixer quickly or with two forks) add chicken back in and cook down to desired consistency
