Soft Tacos w/Spicy Chicken

I've made a bunch of new recipes lately so I'm posting all the good ones now.  This was very good, but I need to up the chipotle peppers next time.  This was was a bit too mild for us.

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
1/2 t salt
1/8 t black pepper
1 bay leaf
1/2 t oregano
2 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped.  (it says to seed them but I didn't)
1 finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
2 T olive oil


Season chicken with salt & pepper.  Mix together bay leaf, oregano, chopotle peppers, onion & vinegar.  Allow to marinate for at least an hour or overnight (we did overnight).

Heat oil over med/high heat.  Saute chicken for about 10 minutes or until brown.  Flip and keep cooking until done.  Remove from heat and let it sit for a while.  Slice chicken and serve in tortillas with toppings of your choice.  We used cilantro, sour cream, salsa & cheese.  It was good, and best of all easy.
