Chipotle Chicken Copy Cat Recipe
My favorite protein at Chipotle is their chicken. That sounds boring but man that chicken is tasty! I found a Youtube video from a guy who worked at Chipotle and gave the recipe. Yaaaay, so I had to try it!
The ingredients are interesting:
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 TBS Chile powder
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1 7 oz can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (use 4 peppers and all the sauce)
- 3/4 cup water
- Chicken Thighs
Put all ingredients, except the chicken, into a blender and blend until combined.
Place chicken thighs in a large zip lock bag and pour in sauce. Marinate overnight.
Once marinated, grill and enjoy!
This came out sooo good! I wasnt sure how the chipotle peppers would taste but it tasted just like chipotle. I am def going to make this again.

Hi, Jane! I love Chipotle so I am sure I would like this recipe. Is it really spicy hot? My hubby & I usually prefer mild but we could go with a little bit of heat. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Hi Marsha,
Not spicy hot just a nice flavor! Enjoy!
