      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!)
