Skip the Chipotle Line - Make This at Home Instead


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,

spinach artichoke dip in cast iron skillet

Hi Reader, This spinach artichoke dip is a family favorite in my house. The spinach, tender artichokes, and melted cheese are in perfect harmony. The key is the ratio: too much spinach and the dip can feel heavy, while too much cheese overpowers everything else. Getting that balance right gives you a rich, creamy dip with plenty of texture in every single bite.

whole chicken in slow cooker

Hi Reader, Slow-cooker whole chicken might just be the best dinner shortcut in my kitchen right now. I have been using my slow cooker a lot lately to see what actually turns out great and what really is not worth the hype, and this recipe easily made the cut. Whole chickens are such a staple because one bird stretches so far. You get tender, juicy meat with hardly any hands-on work, plus enough shredded chicken for tacos, quick salads, and easy dinners all week long. A simple spice rub and a...

cooked salmon in air fryer basket

Hi Reader, This air fryer salmon has been one of my most popular recipes for a while, and for good reason. Salmon in the air fryer is not only so easy to make, but the way the outside gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside juicy and flaky is pure magic. It comes together so fast, and it's so good over rice (y'all know I love some rice) with a side of vegetables.
