  3. In a food processor, puree chipotles and roja salsa and remaining red onion. Add remaining chicken stock, puree into smooth.
  4. Pour half of chipotles blend to chicken. It should cover most of the chicken. If there isnt enough liquid, add some extra roja salsa. Cover with lid and put into oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
