Place the raw chicken breasts in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and let cool slightly, then use two forks to shred; set aside.

In a blender, combine the crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.
