Cook the onions, garlic, and poblano peppers over medium heat until fragrant and the poblano is softened. Add in chipotle peppers, chicken, fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low for about 10 minutes until thickened.
