Ingredients
- 2 lbs ButcherBox Organic Free-Range Boneless Chicken Thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can 14 oz fire-roasted tomatoes
- 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice for a Paleo-friendly option
- fresh toppings diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400ºF). Rub 1 tbsp of olive oil over the ButcherBox Organic Free-Range Boneless Chicken Thighs and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred with two forks.
- Make the Tinga Sauce: While the chicken rests, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle peppers, oregano, and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cook together for an additional 5-10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Spoon the cooked rice (or cauliflower rice) into four bowls. Layer on the chicken tinga mixture. Finish by topping with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
Notes
Cooking Tips:
- Add a smoky depth by adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the tinga sauce.
- Customize your bowl with extra toppings like black beans, shredded cheese (if not dairy-free), or Greek yogurt (if not adhering strictly to Paleo).
Questions and Variations:
- Using Leftover Chicken? Shred it and add it directly to the tinga sauce for a quicker meal.
- Adjusting the Heat: Control the spiciness by varying the amount of chipotle peppers. Begin with one for mild heat and add more according to taste.
