How to Make Chicken Chipotle

  1. In a large pot, combine chicken breasts, chopped onion, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add enough water to completely cover the chicken.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Carefully remove chicken from pot and set aside. Drain any excess liquid.
  4. While chicken simmers, preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, milk, undrained canned green chiles, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Blend until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Place the cooked chicken in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cream cheese sauce evenly over the chicken.
  7. Sprinkle the top with paprika.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve hot and enjoy!
