CHIPOTLE CHICKEN FRESH MEX BOWL RECIPES

Steps:

• MARINATE chicken breasts in a medium bowl with ½ cup of the Blue Plate® Go Bold Chipotle Lime Sauce for 15 minutes. COOK yellow rice according to package directions. Cool slightly and toss with ¼ cup of Blue Plate® Go Bold Chipotle Lime Sauce. GRILL chicken breasts in a grilling pan over medium heat until internal temperature is 160 degrees. Slice into strips. PLACE yellow rice in each bowl and arrange chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes and avocado on top of rice. DRIZZLE with remaining Blue Plate® Go Bold Chipotle Lime Sauce and serve with pico de gallo on the side.

Steps:

• Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
• Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
• Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill with top and bottom plates for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut into strips.
