America has such an exciting array of flavors from the many nationalities that have settled on this vast continent, and food that is fun! Although often accused of being unhealthy by those who think that certain fast-food chains are the typical diet, there are many very healthy dishes that are fun! Smokey chipotle from Mexico creates awesome flavor in this succulent slow-cooked chicken, that can be just as delicious wrapped in lettuce, as in brioche or slider buns! Beautiful and messy food! It doesn’t get much better than these!!

Simple Adobo Sauce
- 1/2 cup chile powder (See Note 1)
- 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped (8 oz with juices)
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (See Note 2)
- 1 tsp oregano (See Note 3)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- In a jug, add the chile powder and carefully pour in 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Cover with a plate to infuse, while you get the other ingredients together.
- Add the vinegar, chopped tomatoes, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, salt, cumin, cinnamon, pepper, and allspice to the jug and process with a stick blender to a smooth purée, about the consistency of BBQ sauce. If needed, thin with water.
- Heat oil in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Carefully pour in the chili vegetable purée and bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes uncovered.
- Makes about 2 1/2 to 3 cups adobo sauce. Freeze leftover sauce in small containers for future use, as you will want to make this chicken again!
