These honey chipotle chicken rice bowls are the epitome of flavor! Each component adds a different layer of flavor that makes these chicken burrito bowls even better than the restaurant version. It starts with a sweet and bold chicken marinade that infuses loads of flavor into the chicken. I like to pair the chicken with fluffy white rice, corn salsa and some creamy avocado topping that all comes together perfectly in one bowl!
Ingredients Needed
Chicken Thighs: I like to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs here! You can also use chicken breast if desired. Honey: Honey adds just a touch of sweetness to balance the bold, smoky flavors and helps the chicken to caramelize when getting cooked! Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce: The honey chipotle chicken gets it’s bold flavor from the chipotles in adobo sauce! Adobo Pepper: For added spice and smokiness! Onion & Garlic Powder: A combo of onion powder and garlic powder add a deeper savory flavor. Salt & Pepper: To taste. Olive Oil: To sauté the chicken! Lime: To finish the chicken with a little bit of tang! For Serving: Serve the chicken on a bed of rice with some avocado crema, corn salsa, and fresh cilantro if desired!

Tips for Success
Feel free to grill the chicken! For added flavor, you can definitely grill the chicken instead of using a pan! If you are sensitive to spicy food, don’t use the actual chiles from the can of chiles in adobo sauce, and just use the adobo sauce in the marinade! You get all that flavor without so much of the spice from the chili. Add additional toppings! Feel free to make these honey chipotle chicken rice bowls your own. You can add diced tomatoes, pinto or black beans, diced avocado, or some black olives!
