Sweetfire Chipotle Chicken Bowls | Tastes Better From Scratch

Guys, I go crazy for any recipes with chipotle chilies in them. There’s something about that smokey, spicy flavor that I seriously can’t get enough of!!  If you’re familiar with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce you know they come in a can (usually in the Mexican food aisle at your grocery store) and you never use the whole can.

A great trick it to FREEZE them! Pour the extra sauce and peppers into a ziplock bag and freeze them until you want to use them in another recipe.

Some of my favorite recipes using chipotle peppers in adobo sauce include:

Sweetfire Chipotle Chicken Bowls | Tastes Better From Scratch

These Sweetfire Chipotle Chicken Bowls knocked my socks off (in the best possible way 🙂 )! I adapted the recipe from Jen over at Carlsbad Cravings and I completely loved it!

Crispy baked chicken tossed in a sweet/tangy/spicy sauce and served over my favorite cilantro lime rice and blacks beans. I also served this with fresh grilled zucchini and yellow squash and fresh steamed broccoli–those sides totally made this dish for me. Everything tasted amazing!
