    Title: Chipotle Salsa Baked Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Chilies, Cheese, Citrus
    Yield: 3 Servings

    15 oz Can fire roasted tomatoes *
    1/4 c Chopped red onion
    1 cl Garlic; chopped
    1/2 c Packed, chopped fresh
    - cilantro
    2 Chipotles in adobo
    +=PLUS=+
    1 ts Adobo sauce; to taste
    1 ts Lime juice
    1 ts Salt
    1 1/2 lb Chicken thighs; boned,
    - skinned, trimmed, in 3"
    - wide pieces
    4 oz Grated or sliced Monterey
    - jack cheese **

    * or canned whole or crushed tomatoes if fire roasted are
    not available (Red Gold diced w/chilies is what I used)

    ** I used Pepper Jack

    Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, chipotle peppers
    and adobo, lime juice and salt in a blender or food
    processor. Pulse a few times so there are no more large
    chunks of anything, but not so much so that the salsa is
    completely smooth.

    Preheat the oven to 350øF/175øC. Place the chicken pieces
    in a casserole dish, just large enough to fit them all in
    a single layer (about 8x10-inches). Spread the chipotle
    salsa over the chicken pieces, turning the chicken pieces
    to coat them all over with the salsa.

    Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes (30
    minutes for thighs). Remove the foil, and sprinkle or
    layer the cheese over the chicken. Bake uncovered for 10
    minutes more.

    Serve over rice, pasta, or with tortillas on the side,
    along with chopped avocado, more cilantro, crema fresca or
    sour cream.

    Variation: This is a bake-in-the-oven recipe. You could
    easily adapt the recipe to the stovetop this way: sear the
    chicken pieces first in a little olive oil, remove the
    chicken, add the onions to the pan, cook them till soft,
    add the garlic and chilies, cook a little longer, add the
    tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, and salt, then add the
    chicken, coat the chicken with the sauce, bring to a low
    simmer, cover, cook for 25 minutes, sprinkle with cheese,
    cover and cook for a few more minutes until the cheese is
    melted.

    Yield: Serves 6. (YEAH, Right!)
