Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or your favorite)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, ensuring every piece is seasoned.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant – your kitchen will start smelling amazing!
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Stir in the minced chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. The sauce should thicken slightly and coat the chicken beautifully.
- Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the chipotle chicken and your favorite toppings. I like to add black beans, corn, salsa, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
