Creamy Chipotle Chicken (without cream)

As you may have guessed I enjoy cooking in fact I love cooking, but I love experimenting even more. My experiments aren't always successful  but when they are I always wish that I had written down what I had done, the bad ones we just never mention again.. ... this is one of those that I am so glad I did take the time to write down afterwards. Sadly there is no picture of it though, as it got eaten a little too quickly. 

Also most nights I cook fresh tortillas for Adrian, they are a Mexicans version of bread, and usually served with most of their meals. This recipe you can serve with tortillas or rice or I guess even pasta if it took your fancy.
