CARAMELIZED CHIPOTLE CHICKEN



Caramelized Chipotle Chicken image

When lacquered with a rich, complex sauce and roasted, chicken becomes a delicious crowd-pleaser. There's enough chipotle here to make your lips hum, but not so much as to overshadow the balancing act created by the other ingredients-toasty garlic, onions, and ketchup, plus a kiss of brown sugar and cinnamon.

CREAMY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SKILLET DINNER



Creamy Chipotle Chicken Skillet Dinner image

A weeknight single-skillet dinner that packs a huge amount of flavor and just the right smoky heat. My family is lactose-intolerant and we adhere to a low fodmap diet. The small amount of garlic in the adobo works for us, but your mileage may vary. You can tone down the heat by serving this dish with a side of yellow rice or kick it up by adding in cayenne. Adding in the optional chipotle chilies approximately doubles the heat of the recipe.
