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!
