In a pot, boil the water and cook the chicken with the onion, garlic, cilantro, and a little salt for about 50 minutes or until cooked. Reserve the broth and shred the chicken. For the sauce, blend the tomatoes with the onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, one cup of chicken broth, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth mixture. In a deep skillet, cook the sliced onion with the oil until it is transparent. Add the sauce, let it come to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes.
