Bake or grill chicken until done. There is more depth of flavor if you marinate the chicken overnight

Find a pot big enough to cook pasta in because it needs room to cook properly

Boil the pasta in a large sauce pan until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside

Have you ever had chipotles in adobo sauce?

They are wonderful for their depth of flavor they add to your recipe! I suggest you puree them and put them in the freezer. You can take out just what you need at any time. This recipe requires 1 Tablespoon more or less to your taste

Now we are going to make the Chipote Cream Sauce. In a saucepan melt 2 tablespoons butter and add  1 small shallot toss, add chipotle puree, cream, spices and toss. Shred the chicken and toss in the sauce as well
