Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (sliced in half horizontally)
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 1⁄2 tablespoons Chipotle in Adobo sauce (diced (half a can))
1⁄4 cup red onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 lime (juiced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Steps
- In a bowl, combine chipotle in adobo & sauce, red onion, garlic, pepper, salt, juice from 1 lime, and dried oregano. Pour into a freezer bag or container.
- Add chicken to bag, mix until everything is well coated.
- Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, preferably overnight for maximum flavour.
- When ready to cook, you have 2 options:
- Pan fry: Heat pan to medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Work in batches to prevent overcrowding in the pan.
- Grill: If you’re in the mood for a richer flavour, heat grill to 400°F. Add chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 6-8 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove from heat, and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
- Serve it as tacos, with rice or as a burrito bowl with the Jalapeños Beans.
