Pollo Con Chipotle (Chicken with Chipotle)

From Miguelina’s Kitchen

This recipe came from a friend at work several years ago. At lunchtime we all used to share our food buffet style. When I asked how to make this delicious chicken, I could not believe how something so simple could taste so good!   I love this recipe because it is quick, easy, inexpensive and has a very good flavor! You can use the Siete brand chipotle sauce, but the original recipe uses Chipotle en Adobo, which you can find at your local Mexican store.  I like to serve Pollo con Chipotle as a platter with beans, rice, and salsa. Warm up some tortillas on the side and use them to scoop up all the deliciousness!
