Skip the Chipotle Line - Make This at Home Instead

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

Hey there Reader,

I love a good copycat recipe, and this chipotle chicken has to be one of my favorite copycats ever. It uses a delicious marinade that makes the chicken taste amazing and is perfect for many uses. I'm talking bowls, burritos, tacos, etc.

Let's Talk Sides & Fixings

You gotta have the best sides and toppings to go with this chicken. Here are a few of my favorites:

  • ​Cilantro Lime Rice - Another copycat. My favorite rice to order when I visit Chipotle.
  • ​Black beans - I use the slow cooker for these beans. They always come out perfect and delicious.
  • ​Candied Jalapeños - This sweet-and-spicy topping is perfect for your chipotle bowls.
  • ​Homemade Salsa - I make this in my blender, almost weekly now because my girls love this better than the jar stuff.

I like to whip out this large electric skillet when I'm pan-searing lots of food. I use it a ton when making this chipotle chicken. It's big, so it's perfect for holding large amounts.

Once you try this, you might never need to stand in that Chipotle line again! Just kidding. But am I? lol

Happy Cooking,

chicken tenders on wire rack baking dish

Hi Reader, When my brain is fried, and I can't figure out what to make for dinner, I make chicken tenders. I love how easy they are as a base. You can toss them in whatever sauce you want or just use them as a dip. Make sure to bake them on a baking sheet with a rack (Amazon affiliate link) to keep them crispy. 👉🏾 Here's the recipe: Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Tenders The one tip I want you to take away from this recipe is to toast your panko breadcrumbs in the oven before you bread the...

Tanya holding BBQ shrimp

Hi Reader, We spent spring break in New Orleans and had the best time. A gator tour, more food than I can list, and a whole lot of walking it off after. The BBQ shrimp stuck with me. It's not actually barbecued. It's jumbo shrimp simmered in a buttery, garlicky, Worcestershire-spiked sauce, and you eat it with crusty bread for soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Nothing sweet, nothing sticky, just bold Louisiana flavor in one skillet. 🍴 Get the recipe: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. If this one...
