Tinga - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 chicken breast halves
    5 medium onions, thinly sliced
    1 garlic clove, chopped
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1 medium tomatoes or (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo
    1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granule
    tostadas
    sour cream
    shredded lettuce
Preparation
    Put the chicken into a large pot with 1/4 c sliced onion, garlic and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 25 minutes.
    Remove chicken, cool, and shred meat. If using bone-in chicken, discard skin and bones.
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add remaining onion slices, and fry until transparent.
    If using fresh tomatoes, place them in a pan of boiling water (can use water used to boil chicken) and boil until they split open.
    Place the tomatoes, chipotle peppers (use 3-4 for a little heat, up to the whole can according to your taste), and boullion into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
    Pour into a large pan and add the shredded chicken and cooked onions. Heat through.
    To serve, spread a layer of sour cream on a tostada, top with the chicken and shredded lettuce.
