  1. Combine water, 1 teaspoon cumin, 4 sliced garlic cloves, and chicken in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat.

  2. Remove 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from can; set aside. Remove 2 chipotle chilies from can; finely chop and set aside. Reserve remaining chilies and adobo sauce for another use.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Add 1 teaspoon cumin; sauté 1 minute. Stir in tomato puree; cook 4 minutes or until mixture thickens to a paste like consistency, stirring constantly. Stir in reserved 2 tablespoons adobo sauce, 2 chopped chipotle chilies, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add sliced chicken to sauce; simmer for 3 minutes or until heated through.
