The day has finally come that I share this gem of a recipe with ya. What’s that you ask? I call it… Chipotle Skillet Chicken! And it’s gonna make your homemade burrito bowl dreams come true.
Don’t let the name of it sway ya, it’s not really all that spicy at all. But it is inspired by the chicken that you get in the burritos, burrito bowls, and tacos at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Have you been to Chipotle? If so, you should be really, really excited, because it’s a pretty insane match… It might even be better than the original! Haven’t been to Chipotle? No need to go now, you’ll love this.
You want a little back story? sure ya do! Alrighty, so I think most of ya know that I live in a lil town, out in the country. The nearest neighbors are a mile away, we don’t have many fun places to eat in my town… yada yada, so on and so forth. I always get a little jealous of people who live in places that have awesome stuff like Target and Chipotle Mexican Grill, among a million other things. But then I think about it and I’m like “Well, I probably wouldn’t be as creative in the kitchen if I could just walk out the door and grab delicious take out at any ol’ given time. I actually had Chipotle for the first time in January of this year. Since then I’ve basically had a one track, burrito bowl lovin’ mind.
Okay, so back to the chicken. You’re gonna love it! You will never need Chipotle takeout in your life again. It’s not completely necessary to put this chicken in a bowl- you can use it in tacos, salads, etc. But this recipe couldn’t be any easier! The most important part is allowing enough time for the chicken to marinate. Typically, on the night before I plan to make it for dinner, I make the marinade and then throw the chicken in all together, but you can also do it the morning of. You really need it to marinate for at least 8 hours, but I have had GREAT results after marinating for 16+ hours.
The biggest difference between this chicken and the kind from the restaurant is that I use chicken breasts instead of thighs. I made it with thighs a couple of times, and it’s delicious! But in order to knock off some calories and points, I decided to use chicken breast instead. The marinade helps it stay super tender and juicy after cooking, so you don’t need to worry about it drying out. Now, I didn’t sneak into Chipotle and steal the recipe. I didn’t even apply to work there and then work for a few weeks only to find out their secret to the best dang chicken I’ve ever had, and then quit. (Trust me, I thought about it though!) One day back in January I just packed up Pepper, and we up and drove 75ish miles, once a week, for a few weeks straight, and ate a lot of Chipotle chicken to really get those different flavors down. Seriously you say? Yeah, seriously. The things I do for this food blog! I’ve been tweaking this recipe for almost two months. I am super excited about it and I am pretty impressed by how much it tastes just like the real deal. Truth be told, I think I like it even better!
Now let’s get in the kitchen and make some of the best dang chicken ever!
Cut up half a red onion into large chunks.
Do the same with 4 cloves of garlic.
You’ll need these!!! Grab one pepper outa there and two tablespoons of the adobo sauce that they are packed in. You can find these cans of Chipotle Peppers ANYWHERE! Just look in the Latin Foods section in your local market. It doesn’t matter the brand. There will probably be 4-5 different brands. I grab whichever is closest to my hand.
Throw the onion, garlic, adobo sauce, chipotle pepper, 2 tbs kosher salt, 2.5 tsp cumin, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tbs olive oil and juice of 1 lime into a blender (or food processor).
Add one cup’a water.
Blend, baby, blend!
Now, you’ll need two pounds of chicken. It’ll be 3-4 breasts depending on size. Now grab a ziplock baggie and add the chicken breast. Be sure to cut your chicken breasts in half It just helps the cooking process when you throw’m on the skillet later.
*Note: You can use up to 3.5 lbs of chicken for this marinade, but you’ll need to use a little more oil when cooking all of it because you’ll have to cook it in a few batches.
Pour in the marinade. After making sure the bag is tightly closed, use your hands to knead the marinade and chicken together for a minute or two. Now refrigerate for at least 8-16 hours. (Put the bag in a bowl just in case- the last thing you’ll want to do is clean up raw chicken juice and marinade all over your fridge… trust me!)
Now we’re gonna turn the clock forward until our chicken is done marinating. In a large 12 inch skillet, add 1/2 tbs vegetable oil and bring up to medium heat. Add the chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Temp to 160, remove from the pan, and let it rest for 8-10 minutes. You’ll need to make chicken in two batches. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan!
Don’t worry if it gets a lil black & burnt around the edges… is that the professional term? I personally don’t call this burnt. I call it FLAVOR!
I think I’ll just let the pictures do the talking here…
and here…
and here too!
Okay, now dice it up into small pieces.
Okay, just ONE more thing! It’s kind of important, I promise. After you’ve diced up the chicken, throw it right back into the skillet, and cook for just a couple more minutes over medium heat. Let it all mingle together with the leftover chicken bits, and it will soak up more of that amazing flavor crusted on the skillet. This last step really does matter!
Okay, now you’ve got the third component of the Chicken Burrito Bowls. How happy are you!? I’m so excited guys, you’re gonna love it!!
It’s easy peasy, and oh-so-delicious.
Let me know how it goes if ya make it!
With love from my kitchen to yours,
Star
Skillet Chipotle Chicken
Ingredients
- 1/2 large red onion cut into large chunks
- 4 cloves garlic cut into large peices
- 1 medium chipotle pepper (canned) can can be found in the latin foods section in any store (Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce)
- 2 tbsp Adobo Sauce from same can as chipotle pepper above
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2.5 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp kosher salt if using table salt, reduce by half
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (divided-for cooking)
- 2 lbs chicken breast trimmed and cut in half to make thinner
- juice from one lime
Instructions
For the Chipotle Marinade:
- Be sure to start to marinate chicken for at least 8 hours before cooking. In a blender (or food processor) Add onion, garlic, adobo sauce, chipotle pepper, olive oil, cumin, oregano, kosher salt, juice of one lime, and water. Blend together well. Marinate for at least 8 hours. (Can be marinated for up to 24 hours)
For the Skillet Chipotle Chicken:
- After the chicken has marinated, heat a large 12 inch skillet with 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add pieces of chicken to the hot skillet. Discard extra marinade. Cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken temps at 160 degrees. Remove from skillet, set on cutting board, and let it rest for 8-10 minutes. Repeat once more adding second batch of chicken and another 1/2 tbs of vegetable oil.
- When the chicken is cool enough dice it into small pieces and add back to the skillet where you cooked the chicken. Let it cook, stirring together with all the crusty chicken bits in the skillet over medium heat for a few more minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Absolutely delicious! One of my new favorites. I made this marinade and then plans changed and I probably won’t get around to cooking it until it sat for 36 hours. Is that a problem?
Hi Kaitlyn! I really don’t think it should be a problem at all. I’m so happy you enjoy!
It’s a favorite in our household! My fiancé is a chipotle freak and loves this chicken. My only request is to put the juice of one lime above the chicken in the recipe because I ALWAYS forget it.
Do you use the whole can of chipotle peppers
I love this recipe! But how did you make it 1 point on green?! When I put it into the recipe builder, it came up as 3pts per serving.
This is so so good! I made chicken wraps with this and even made a chipotle mayo sauce to go with it. It was so yummy! Thanks so much!
This recipe is a staple in my house!! The chicken is perfect for meal prep!
This is my favorite chicken marinade! So easy to make but so tasty! I love to use this for meal prep for the week!
_terry_06
For sure a fam fav skillet meal in my house! @kimmypoohiu (ig handle)
My family LOVES LOVES LOVES this chicken. Make it nearly once a week and follow the recipe exactly! Thank you!!
This marinade is the best. We’ve made it several times. Easy and delicious. My husband requests it all the time.
This sounds great! I’m going to try it with chicken thighs and grill it.
Hope you enjoy! It’s so good with thighs!
Fantastic recipe! I will be making this a lot. I marinated chicken tenders and then cooked them at 400 for 8 mins then turned them over and cooked for 6 more minutes…They were perfection! Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for this recipe literally awesome!!!! Whole family loved it. 100 times better than Chipotle not to mention healthier and cheaper!
YAY! So happy y’all love it!
This takes chicken to a whole new level!!! I love this chicken in burrito bowls, chicken tacos and nachos!! The chipotle flavor from the marinade is my fave!
So delicious!! Best chicken EVER. Goes great with the Cilantro Lime Rice, to which I am addicted. I didn’t even know I liked Cilantro but after using it in your recipes, I now keep it on hand all the time. You make WW not only doable, but enjoyable!! Thank you!!!
Love it just need a little more kick for my group! I’m going to add 2 peppers next time and see what that does!! I also need a skillet! Couldn’t get it “burnt” like I wanted. I was worried it would dry out. We did put some on the grill and that was good!! Thank you for sharing!!
Meal prep is a joy with your recipes. I made this yesterday for dinner for this week. I am happy to say I am impressed. I did cool this one down a little as far as the chipotle pepper goes but the taste of the chicken is delicious. I did all of it, the pinto beans, the rice and just delicious. Can’t wait until dinner. Thanks
Starr, this was sooooo good. Made it last night for the family and my husband was still talking about it this morning. Thanks for all the hard work
Flavor is fantastic and I will definitely make it again but next time I will use 2 tsp of salt and not 2 tbs. My gut told my that might be a typo but I saw in the comments that someone else asked and you confirmed 2 tbs. Are you sure you use 2 tbs for 2 lbs of chicken? It’s very very salty!
Hi Sherry, You discard about 95% of the marinade so the salt isn’t used as much as you think it might be. I basically use the salt for brining purposes within the marinade. I also use kosher salt, always. There is a huge difference between kosher salt and regular table salt. Table salt has a much higher salt content and is not coarse like kosher salt so it measures differently. Sorry to hear you found it a bit salty, I personally don’t think it is and haven’t had that feedback either. Next time use a little less salt if not using kosher salt and make sure to discard the marinade. Do not cook with the chicken. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the flavor. I hope that helps a bit!
Oh my goodness! I know what I did! I did use kosher salt but….I forgot the water! I just couldn’t figure out how everybody else didn’t notice how salty it was! Thank you for your kind reply. I feel kinda silly, no, more like kinda stupid! So sorry!!
I just finished cooking the chicken!!! It looks and tastes so yummy!!! Quick ?, can it be frozen? Oh and thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!!!
Hey Kimberly! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. It can definitely be frozen
Going to make several batches of this chicken then after cooked freeze the chicken for many salads. I am on a southwestern chicken salad kick. I use your chipotle ranch on everything
Have you ever tried to freeze the chicken in the marinade and then thaw and make it? I was thinking of prepping a whole bunch to have in my freezer!
I haven’t with this particular recipe (i don’t know why, honestly), but I think it should work well! I’ve frozen raw chicken in marinade before and it’s worked perfectly!
Hi, that seems a great recipe.
What can i use in place of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?? Its not available in my country o guess. Can i simply ise round red chillies?
Hey! I see that you used a cast iron skillet. Would it still be as yummy if I use a nonstick pan?
It actually isn’t a cast iron skillet. It’s a circulon non stick skillet. It’ll work perfectly on your favorite non stick pan!
Marinating right now. I can’t wait 🙂 I feel confident in thanking you in advance.
Question – have you ever grilled these? Results?
Hey, I just wanted to doublecheck if salt is 2 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons. Im thinking its 2 tablespoons but wanted to just verify 🙂 thanks
two tablespoons, I hope you enjoy!
Added the marinade and chicken to the crock pot and it made the most delicious shredded chicken!

Who long in the slow cooker and what temp?
I don’t recommend the slow cooker for this recipe, but if you’d like to try it, I would do low for 7-8 hours.
SO GOOD! I only marinated the chicken for four hours and it came out wonderful so I can’t imagine how it would taste being marinated longer. I will be making this again and again.

I love the chicken at Chipotle grill, so I decided to give the Chipotle Skillet Chicken recipe a try.
It was EXCELLENT! I had to force myself to not overeat. Amazing stuff, and so close to Chipotle Mexican Grill. Loved it! Thanks so much for sharing!
So happy you enjoyed, Gary!! Thanks for lettin’ me know!

I’ve got my chicken marinating right now! I’m so excited to try this tonight. I just have to say, thank you! I have tried so many of your recipes and I love them all. I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to cook and trying to find healthy recipes that taste good is kind of hard….but I have loved every recipe of yours that I have made! Thank you! Thank you!
Could the marinade be made a day or two ahead of time before you add chicken?
The answer is yes! I made the marinade Thursday night and put the chicken in Friday night. Omg!!! So good!!!

Thank you for this recipe! I am just finishing up my last batch of it and ready to make another! Wondering if you think I could make the chicken in a crockpot and shred it?? I’m thinking make the marinade the same and then just add with the chicken to the crockpot? I’m no expert at this though … I just like my chicken shredded vs in chunks. What do you think?!?
Hi Kelly! You totally could do this all in crockpot for a lot more easy. I’ll be honest though I tested this recipe with multiple methods of cooking (oven, skillet, air fryer) and nothing beat the skillet. I think the charred bits really make the chicken, HOWEVER I could just be weird. Let me know if you try it out in the crockpot and how it goes!

I loved the chicken so much but I felt the chicken didn’t hold most of the marinade. The marinade was possibly too chunky??? Maybe I should have blended more.
So glad you loved. It the marinade should definitely be like… a thin milkshake consistency? I know that’s a weird comparison, but it’s all I could think of. Definitely not chunky. I hope that helps!

Hi! cannot wait to make this! just wanted to clarify….you discard the marinade right ? (do not pour into the pan with the chicken?)
You discard the marinade. There’s a little that clings to the chicken, but most of it gets thrown out. I hope you enjoy!

YUM!!!I am so happy you’re enjoying, Danica!

This was amazing! I was a little nervous after I took it out of the pan and it didn’t have the color/char from the picture. But after dicing it and putting it back in the pan it turned out perfect! Such a good trick!
So glad you enjoyed!!

I absolutely LOVE your recipes! Although I am getting 2 point on the chicken? The only thing that is pointing for me is the two Tbs of oils which each come up to 4 points and divided by 5 servings the app says 2 points… help
Hi Kate! I’ll be sure to talk about this in the post so it’s not confusing. I do not count the tablespoon of olive oil that is in the marinade because barely any of the marinade is actually cooked with the chicken. I hope that helps. It’s up to you if you’d like to count it, of course, but I personally don’t think it actually sticks enough to the chicken.

Absolutely delicious! I LOVED the chicken, the rice and the beans. And the POINTS! I’m already thinking I’ll add the chipotle ranch dressing for lunch to replace the R/F sour cream and guacamole I used at dinner for a 4 Point amazing lunch. Yahoo! Star, you are truly a star!
Yay!!! I still can’t believe the points bargain on so much delicious food!! Thank you so much!!

I meal prepped this chicken with the chipotle pinto beans as well, I made the cilantro lime rice but I used cauliflower rice to save some points but it ALL IS AMAZING!!!! Everything was so flavorful and I will definitely be making all of this again!!!!! Thanks Star for all your hard work in bringing great recipes!
Thank you so much, Shelly! I am so happy to hear that it worked well with cauliflower rice too. Thanks so much for letting me know! On a completely unrelated note, I saw your email address and it made me smile. I’ve called Pepper “baby bug” since she was in the belly! haha

I made this and it came out great! I used 3 chicken breasts and marinated them for about 24 hours. It’s definitely a keeper, thank you!!!

I made this tonight and it was the best chicken I ever made. My husband said it was better than Chipotle’s and he couldn’t stop eating it. The chicken was super moist, tender and such a wonderful flavor. I am looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

Im putting another batch of marinade together to cook up for lunches during the week. This was a really huge hit at my house. Thanks so much for all of your hard work getting this recipe together.

Can’t wait to try it! Do you cut the breasts in half so they aren’t so thick? Or lengthwise so they are more like a chicken tender?
In half so they aren’t so think. I’ll clarify that in the recipe. Thank you! I hope you love it!

In the actual recipe you never include chicken, how many chicken breast did you use?

I have tried several of your recipes lately, and we love them! I can’t find the amount of chicken in this recipe? Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi! I am so sorry. My mistake. It’s two pounds!

Is this chicken really spicy (hot)? I’ve never had Chipotle. Thanks.
No it’s really, really not. It has a tiny bit of undertone of spicy, but not nearly enough where I would call it spicy in the least. I hope you love it! Really the only reason it’s called Chipotle Chicken is because it’s inspired by the chicken from the restaurant!

Ooooh, I love chipotle peppers and to add it to chicken is a double bonus! This will be made (and devoured) in my home very soon! With those tantalizing pics, I am a fan already!
I hope you LOVE it! Let me know how it goes!

Excellent and SO exciting! Thanks for your dedication to our taste buds and tummies! 🙂 About how many chicken breast will this marinade work for? I like to do a lot of meal prepping and cook large batches…especially when it comes to deliciousness! 🙂
It will probably work for up to 6 large chicken breasts =) I hope you love it! Let me know how it goes
