Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Chipolte Chiles in Adobo Sauce, minced (See Note)
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp Yellow Mustard
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Approx. 12 Tortillas
  • Note: The original recipe called for 2 tsp. Chipolte Chiles in Adobo Sauce but I used 2 tbsp. Adjust to your own preference.

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the garlic and chipotle and cook for about 30 seconds.

Add the orange juice, worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup of the cilantro and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, reduce heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.

After about, 6 minutes, flip the chicken breasts onto the other side, cover and poach for another 6 minutes or until the inner temperature of the breast is 160 degrees.

Remove the breasts from the pan, place on a plate and cover with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes and then shred with two forks.

Turn up the heat and cook the liquid until it reduces to about 1/3 cup, about 4 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the mustard, stirring well with a whisk. This will thicken your sauce. Add the chicken and the remaining cilantro, stirring to coat all the chicken.

Season with salt and pepper.
