• In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 clove garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in tomato mixture. Cook 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Stir in chicken; cook over medium-low heat about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens.

SHREDDED CHICKEN CHILI [RECIPE]

Steps:

• Prepare chicken by boiling chicken breasts in water or broth on stovetop for 10-12 minutes, just barely covered in liquid. Once the meat is no longer pink, remove from fluid and shred with two forks. This same technique can also be used with a pressure cooker at pressure for 5 minutes with a natural release, or a slow cooker for 4-6 hours. Whatever's clever for you! Rotisserie chicken meat can be substituted for the breasts as well.
• In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent.
• Add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and jalapeno to the pot and combine by gently stirring over the burner. Bring to a boil, then drop it down to a simmer over medium-low heat and cover for 10 minutes.
• Cut cream cheese into small, 1-inch chunks.
• Remove lid and mix in the cream cheese. Increase the heat back up to medium-high and continue to stir until the cream cheese is completely blended in. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Eat as-is or garnish with toppings of your choice. I love cilantro and Monterey jack cheese for ooey gooey goodness.

WHITE BEAN SHREDDED CHICKEN CHILI

SHREDDED RED-CHILE MEAT

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the cayenne. Add water to cover, and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. Partly cover, and adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles steadily; cook until the meat is very tender, 1 to 2 hours
• Transfer the meat to a bowl, and let it cool, then shred it with your fingers. Discard the bay leaves, and transfer the garlic, onion and chiles to a blender along with a splash of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth. Add the sauce to the meat, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a little cayenne if you want it spicier; you may want to overseason the meat slightly if you're using it as a filling. Use, or store in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a few months.
