Make a flavorful, smoky chipotle chicken dinner on one pan for easy cleanup. This recipe uses chipotle peppers in adobo for authentic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (use more for extra heat)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Add the cut chicken pieces, sliced peppers, and onion wedges to the bowl. Toss everything well until the chicken and vegetables are fully coated in the chipotle marinade.
  4. Spread the marinated chicken and vegetables in a single layer onto the prepared sheet pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if necessary to allow for proper roasting.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and vegetables before serving.

Notes

  • For a complete meal, serve this smoky chipotle chicken over cilantro-lime rice or use it to fill warm tortillas for quick tacos.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder for the fresh peppers in adobo.
  • To keep the chicken moist, ensure you do not cut the pieces too small before marinating.
