Chicken Tacos the Old Guy Way

My kitchen time has been very limited lately. Visiting my daughter and her family this weekend gave me a chance to finally cook something. My son-in-law said he wanted some tacos, but didn't have any ground beef. He also said he had a package of chicken thighs that need to be used. This is the result.

Ingredients:

6 boneless chicken thighs 

1 poblano pepper

1 bell pepper 

1 sweet onion

3 cloves of garlic 

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes ( I used a large can because that was available, but recommend a small can)

1 teaspoon chilli powder 

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 

1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder.

1 teaspoon sugar

Begin by slicing the onion, bell pepper, and poblano. In a sauce pan or Dutch oven, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sweat the veggies until tender and translucent.

Add the can of crushed tomatoes and all the spices and mix well. Cook for about a half hour. 

Next add the chicken to a skillet and cook on both sides until at least 185 degrees. 

After the sauce has cooked, as it to your food processor or blender, and puree. Add it back to the sauce pan and return to the stove. 

Shred the chicken and add it to the sauce. Cook for another half hour on low heat.

Serve on taco shells or tortillas, adding your favorite toppings.

Enjoy.
