1 ounce dried ancho chile pepper
½ cup water

4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • 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.

CREAMY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SKILLET DINNER



Creamy Chipotle Chicken Skillet Dinner image

A weeknight single-skillet dinner that packs a huge amount of flavor and just the right smoky heat. My family is lactose-intolerant and we adhere to a low fodmap diet. The small amount of garlic in the adobo works for us, but your mileage may vary. You can tone down the heat by serving this dish with a side of yellow rice or kick it up by adding in cayenne. Adding in the optional chipotle chilies approximately doubles the heat of the recipe.
