Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 Cup chicken stock
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp chipotle chili powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 8 oz chopped green chiles
  • 3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Cup sour cream
  • 2 Cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute and whisk in chicken broth. Continue stirring until smooth and thickened-- about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir chipotle chili powder, salt, oregano and green chiles into the sauce and place chicken breasts into pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to very low, cover and cook about 3 hours or until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
  • Remove chicken from pan, leaving the heat on low, and place chicken on a plate to shred into bite-sized pieces.
  • Stir sour cream into the sauce and return chicken to the pan. Stir until combined and top with grated cheese. Cover pan and cook for 5-8 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
