Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken
A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. You can buy chipotles in a can with adobo sauce, which has chipotles that are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The first time I made tortilla soup, I used a whole can of chipotles! The recipe called for one canned chipotle. Let's just say it was smoking hot soup!!!
This Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken has a great smoky flavor and is cheesy and comforting. It's easy to make and perfect for a dinner after a busy day.
