Easy but very tasty- Chicken Tacos

I've made a ton of things from "America's Test Kitchen"  and they are all very good.  However, most of their recipes are a little complicated.  This one is not.  I've made it a few times and it is really good. We love it!   It has a unique sweet, smokey and slightly spicy flavor.  Buy chipotle chilies in adobo sauce and puree.  Freeze this puree in small batches.  A little goes a long way.  I take the tortillas and warm them on the stove.  Watch out because they get hot, but it adds a little crispness.

Chicken Tacos-America's Test Kitchen Style

4 Chicken breasts
2 T butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp pureed chipotle chili in adobo sauce
1 c orange juice
1/2 +1/4 chopped cilantro
1 T Worchester sauce
1 tsp mustard
flour tortillas
toppings such as sour cream, avocado, limes, salsa

Melt butter in skillet.  Add garlic, chipotle chilies, orange juice, Worchester sauce, 1/2 cup of the chopped cilantro.  Add the chicken, cover and poach 15 min.
remove chicken and let rest.  Add 1 tsp mustard to the sauce.  Reduce the sauce to a glaze.  Shred chicken and add back to the sauce.
to warm the tortillas, turn on a burner.  Lay the tortilla on the burner.  don't walk away, watch and flip after it puffs up.  Serve with toppings.
