There’s a reason why Chipotle is one of America’s most popular restaurants. Recreate those amazing flavors at home with this copycat chipotle chicken recipe and skip the lines and hefty price tag!
I know some people who are absolutely addicted to Chipotle. (Husband, if you are reading this, I may or may not be talking about you.) I have to admit, the chicken really is some of the most flavorful I have ever had at a fast-food joint and I rarely say no when offered one of their salads with a side of guac. With a spouse who may (or may not;) be one of Chipotle’s biggest fans, can you imagine the points I would score if I were able to recreate those flavors at home?
Thank you to All Recipes, for bringing a copycat recipe that looks sure to please! Theirs calls for dried chiles, which do have to be re-hydrated, but that is a small price to pay for making my man so very happy. Sometimes, it’s the little things.
