Chicken with Chipotle Cream Sauce

This is a very easy dish to make.. Yet it will taste like nothing you have ever had before.  Its very very good.  Try it!! Chipotles are smoked and dried Jalapeno's.  But they have a flavor all their own, much milder and more intense then Jalapeno's. 

You will need

1 Chicken cut up,, or whatever parts you like
1 can (smallest you can find) of Chipotles
1 cup of Cream  (half and half)
a few cloves of garlic 

Cook some chicken any way you like.  Pan Fry it, bake it, or even buy it already cooked in the store (I would suggest you not put a breading or batter on it) I just buy a whole Chicken in the store, I have the butcher cut it up in smaller pieces and then put them in a pan and bake them for 2 hours at 300. 

While the chicken is cooking take a cup of cream normal Mexican Cream or half and half in the US.   Put this in the blender, add some garlic, either garlic powder or a few cloves of fresh garlic, then add one or two Chipotles.  Do this by taste,,, 2 will be a wee bit Piquino... If you are not into spicy food try just one,,, You can always add more. Turn the blender on and liquify everything.  Taste it?  if it needs a bit more kick just toss in another chili. 

When the chicken is ready, put the cream on the stove and gently warm it.  (do not bring to a boil) put the chicken on a platter and pour the cream over the top.. Serve..
