Step by step
1
Place chicken, onion, garlic, coriander (cilantro) and salt in a saucepan. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 20 minutes.
2
Drain, discarding onion, garlic and coriander. Let cool on cutting board for 10 minutes. Using fingers or 2 forks, shred chicken. Set aside.
3
In separate saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. In blender, purée tomatoes, chipotle peppers and tomato paste; add to onion mixture. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to 1 ¾ cups (425 mL), about 35 minutes.
4
Add reserved chicken, oregano and salt; cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in coriander. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
5
Line 8-inch (2 L) square metal cake pan with parchment paper; set aside.
6
Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together corn flour, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream and oil; stir in corn and cheese. Stir into flour mixture until combined. Scrape into prepared pan. Bake in centre of 400°F (200°C) oven until golden and cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan on rack. Cut into 12 triangles.
7
Serve chicken mixture over corn bread. Garnish with avocado, sour cream and coriander leaves.
