We loved this! My children are huge Chipotle fans and they didn't think I could do it. We had it three nights in a row... I did not have the dried chili peppers, so substituted 1 tsp. ground chipotle chili and 1 tsp. ground ancho chili.
This recipe has great flavor, although I had to improvise on ingredients. Since I didn't feel like running to the store, nor waiting for 10-12 hours for dried peppers to be reconstituted (I wanted this for a same-day dinner), I substituted the ancho and chipotle peppers for 1.5 teaspoons each of chili powder and cayenne pepper, and I substituted the fresh garlic for 4 tablespoons of jarred minced garlic, and I didn't have chicken thighs, so I used breasts. I will definitely make this again!
We love this recipe! My fiance says it tastes just like the restaurant version. Being a long time vegetarian, I have never had Chipotle's chicken, but we split half the marinade for his chicken and I use the other half to braise tofu, and it is wonderful. We've made it several times, and the only step we change is using canned chipotle peppers in adobo, mainly because I forgot to buy dried ones in bulk. We weigh them and it works just fine as a substitution.
This is an amazing recipe! As most others, I did not have the dried chiles on hand so I substituted 1 chile in adobo sauce with about a half teaspoon of the sauce and 1 tsp of ancho chile powder. I let it marinade overnight, browned it in my cast iron, and put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes on 400. Made this into burrito bowls and everyone loved it!
This recipe is awesome! It tastes just like Chipotle... maybe even better! I couldn't find dried chipotle OR ancho chile peppers at the grocery so I purchased the spices accordingly and used 1/2 tsp. for the chipotle and 1 tbsp. for the ancho.
This was very tasty. I made it as is and used it to make chicken taco's. My family and friends gave rave reviews as they devoured it. This is a permanent part of my menu.
Just like Chipotle! I blended the marinade in my Vitamix early this morning and let the BLSL thighs marinate all day. We used it to make chicken burrito bowls and they were SO GOOD! Cilantro lime rice black beans THIS CHICKEN roasted pepper corn salsa pico de gallo monterey jack cheese shredded romaine guacamole and sour cream. There were no complaints at the dinner table tonight just empty plates. Thanks Jewel! You have a winner here!
I loved this recipe! I did not have any of the dried peppers. I substitued 1/2 Tbls. of cayenne pepper and 2 Tbls. of ancho chili powder. I added 2 Tbls. or water and 1 extra Tbls. of olive oil to thin it out just a bit. I also did not have a red onion and substituted a yellow onion. It would be better with red but it turned out just fine. I only marinaded for 1 hour. I can't wait to try this out when I have more time to marinade. I used the chicken in the recipe (Black bean and corn quesadillas) also found on allrecipes. Thanks for the recipe!
Normally DH and I enjoy spicy food but this needed to be cut with sour cream to temper the heat. Won't be make this again.
