Ingredients

  • 1, 7 oz Can Chipotles in adobo sauce
  • Half Red Onion - chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 2 Limes - Juiced
  • 4 Chicken Breasts

Instructions

  • In a food processor combine Chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped red onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, and juice of two limes.
  • Process to make a marinade paste for the chicken.
  • Clean chicken breasts and cut them into smaller pieces (cutting is optional) cutting into two or three pieces per breast allows for better marinade coverage.
  • In a gallon ziplock bag or bowl with cover combine marinade and chicken breast and allow to sit refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours and preferably overnight. I have allowed this to sit for 24 hours with perfect results.
  • Grill or Cook in cast iron skillet until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes.
  • Dice or chop chicken up to bite side pieces for use in tacos, burritos, and my Famous Keto Burrito Bowls!
