Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make at home! Follow our step-by-step guide and enjoy the flavors of Mexico in the comfort of your own kitchen.

What You’ll Need

To make Chicken Tinga, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
  • 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can either poach them in water or cook them in a pressure cooker for faster results. Once cooked, let the chicken cool slightly and then shred it using two forks or your fingers.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.

Step 3: Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, stirring occasionally until they become soft and translucent.

Step 4: Add the Sauce

Pour the sauce from the blender into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Add the Shredded Chicken

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the flavorful sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Your homemade Chicken Tinga is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it with warm tortillas, rice, beans, and your favorite toppings like sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

With just a few simple steps, you can savor the delicious flavors of Chicken Tinga right at home. Impress your family and friends with this easy and authentic Mexican dish. Buen provecho!
