Preparation

First, poach chicken. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of a safe, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover chicken with water. Bring to a boil, then quickly reduce heat to low so that the water is barely at a simmer. Partly cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat completely, and allow chicken to remain in hot water for 15-20 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, combine bell pepper, red onion, green onion and cilantro in a large bowl.
Mix the mayonnaise, chipotles, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
Shred the chicken meat, combine with vegetables and chipotle dressing. Mix well.
Chill until ready to serve.
