Description

This Chicken Chipotle recipe features tender, juicy chicken cooked in a smoky, spicy chipotle sauce made from chipotle peppers in adobo, garlic, and a hint of lime. It’s perfect for meal prep, taco night, or a protein-packed dinner full of bold flavors.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (canned)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for thinner sauce)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Chipotle Sauce:

    • In a blender or food processor, blend the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, and chicken broth (if using) until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Season the Chicken:

    • Rub the chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Cook the Chicken:

    • Stovetop: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
    • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side.

  4. Add the Chipotle Sauce:

    • Pour the chipotle sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. Serve:

    • Slice or shred the chicken, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a milder version, use only 1 chipotle pepper or remove the seeds before blending.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • You can freeze cooked chicken for up to 2 months—thaw overnight in the fridge.
