CHIPOTLE MARINADE FOR GRILLED CHICKEN



Chipotle Marinade for Grilled Chicken image

This makes a thick, delicious paste that coats the chicken with tons of flavor. I like to make more than one batch at a time, apportioned into quart-sized ziplocs containing enough marinade for two chicken breasts. I freeze my chicken in the same bag with the marinade; the night before I intend to grill, I put the whole bag in the fridge and let it defrost / marinade overnight and all through the next day. I like to serve some fresh, homemade pico de gallo on top. Note: When I open a new can of chipotles, I always freeze them individually with the adobo sauce split evenly among each "batch." Therefore, I'm not positive about the amount of adobo sauce I add, but the 1 tablespoon listed below is a decent approximation!

GRILLED OR PAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN IN HONEY LIME CHIPOTLE MARINADE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Grilled or Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin in Honey Lime Chipotle Marinade Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 small tenderloins)
1 cup lime juice, about 8 juicy limes
zest from 2 limes
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chilies)
peanut oil, or other high temperature oil
cilantro

Steps:

  • Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziploc bag or other container to marinate. In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce. To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron skillet), heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature. Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides. Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150. Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don't have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. If you choose to grill, start at step 5 and grill your tenderloins about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill to a platter at 140°F. Pour reserved lime juice mixture over meat and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Then slice, garnish with cilantro and serve.

CHIPOTLE BEEF/CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Chipotle Beef/Chicken Marinade Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by scarlethawthorne

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp cumin powder (a perfect complement to any Mexican dish)
2 tbsp oregano
3 tsp garlic flakes
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup dried onion
3/4 cup oil

Steps:

  • Blend in food processor until smooth. I slow cook my meat in a crock pot then cooled it before coating with this marinade. I can use this right away for burritos or fajitas or store for future use. A little goes a long way and it comes in handy for quick dinners.

Tips:

  • To achieve a more zesty marinade, utilize freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled juice.
  • Enhance the flavor profile of your marinade with the inclusion of aromatic herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, and a touch of sweetness from honey or agave syrup.
  • Maximize the marinade's flavor infusion by allowing the meat to marinate for an extended period, ideally overnight or for a minimum of 30 minutes if time is limited.
  • Tenderize your meat effectively by incorporating acidic ingredients like lime juice or vinegar into the marinade. However, prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients can result in a tough texture, so strike a balance.
  • Accompany your grilled or roasted meat with a refreshing and tangy salsa or sauce, such as a cilantro-lime salsa or a chipotle crema, to complement the bold flavors of the marinade.
