Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
½ small onion, sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, or to taste
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
water to cover

Steps:

  • Slice 1 chipotle pepper open and remove the seeds. Add pepper and all of the adobo sauce from the can to an electric blender along with onion, cilantro, and garlic; reserve remaining peppers for another use. Blend until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Mix in the blended chipotle sauce. Season with cumin, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Pour in water to cover chicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is easy to shred, about 2 hours.

I'm not a big fan of chipotle, but I really enjoyed these chicken thighs. The sauce was flavorful and not too spicy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I just shredded some cooked chicken and added it to the chipotle sauce. It was a quick and easy meal that was also really tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken thighs turned out tough and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These chicken thighs were a little dry for my taste, but the chipotle sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making the sauce again.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the chipotle sauce is the perfect blend of smoky and spicy.

These chipotle chicken thighs were a hit! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the chipotle sauce had just the right amount of spice. I served them in burritos with all the fixings, and they were absolutely delicious.
