Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a small blender or food processor mix all the sauce ingredients. Set to the side.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add oil to a skillet and heat on high. Add chicken to the skillet and brown both sides. About 2-3/side. Remove to a plate.

If needed add more oil. On medium heat add onion and jalapeño. Cook a couple of minutes to soften. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add chicken back to skillet along with any juices from the plate. Add in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Should take about 25-30 minutes. About half way turn over the chicken.

When chicken is done remove chicken. Shred the chicken with 2 forks. Add the chicken back to the skillet to heat up the chicken and mix with all that fantastic sauce.

The chicken Tinga is now ready to serve. For tacos I serve on warmed flour tortillas with shredded lettuce and shredded cheese. I garnished with tomato slices for some color and the tomato help offset the spicy heat from the sauce. Cilantro and jalapeño circles also make for a great garnish. Enjoy!
