I didn't know what to make this week, but then it came to me.  It must have been from the heavens.  The reason it was sent to me was that I was watching Diners Drive-Ins and Dives at night, and then the next day I looked in the DDD cookbook and the first page I opened up to was a recipe from the episode I saw the night before.  Not only that, the recipe had chipotle in it and boy do I LOOOOOVVVVEEE chipotle.

The original recipe is called Pollo Guisado, which means Chicken Stew.  It was really nice out and I wanted to grill so I didn't make it as a stew, so I can't really call it that.  Instead I marinated the chicken in the sauce, brushed some on while grilling and then put some on top of the fajita.

Here is the recipe, adapted from Taco Xpress:

Ingredients

• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 can chipotle in adobo
• 3/4 tsp cumin
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup water
• 3-4 chicken breasts, butterflied if you want it to cook faster
• 3 onions, 1 diced and 2 cut into strips
• 3 bell peppers, cut into strips
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• Optional
• soft/hard taco shells
• shredded cheddar cheese
• sour cream
• salsa
• and other fajita toppings

Directions

1. Put the tomatoes, chipotle in adobo, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and water in a blender and blend until smooth
2. Put chicken and just enough sauce to coat the chicken in a plastic bag, and let marinade for 30 mins
3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan and then add diced onion and cook for 3 mins
4. Next add the rest of the chipotle sauce to the pan and let simmer
5. Light up the grill, to get it pre-heated
6. In another pan cook the the strips of onions and pepper.  I actually used this preforated grilling pan/pot thing that I have, its pretty awesome.  make sure to toss the veggies from time to time.
7. Grease up the gill and put on the chicken.  When I grill I dont really time things.  I probable should have so I could tell you all, but I didn't.  So just cook the chicken on one side until it looks like the chicken is cooked more than half way and then flip
8. After you flip the chicken, take some of the chipotle sauce and put it in a bowl.  Then brush the chicken with that sauce, making sure not to put that sauce back into the original sauce, as to not cross contaminate
9. When the chicken is done, take off the grill and cover in tin foil for about 10 mins and then cut into strips
10. Serve and enjoy like the people below
