Equipment
- Measuring Utensils
- Mincer
- Cutting Board
- Chef’s Knife
- Meat Pounder
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Plastic Wrap
- Large Pan
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1½ Teaspoons Cumin
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Adobo Sauce
- 2 Pounds Chicken Breasts Boneless, Skinless
Instructions
- On the cutting board, place the chicken breasts face down. Use a meat grinder to pound the meat until thinned.
- Now that the chicken has been pounded to make it thinner, add it to the large mixing bowl.
- For a future step, the cutting board will need to be cleaned and sanitized from the raw chicken meat. Clean and wash the cutting board. Set aside for future use.
- Use the mincer to mince the garlic. Add the minced garlic to the large mixing bowl with the chicken.
- Add the adobo sauce, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients to coat the chicken in the seasoning.
- Cover the large mixing bowl and contents with plastic wrap. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill and marinate for 30 minutes or longer (up to 2 days).
- When ready to cook the chicken, set the large pan on a burner. Set the burner heat to medium-high. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Toss the marinated chicken into the heated pan. Use tongs to flip the chicken to thoroughly cook both sides of the chicken. Roughly every side of the chicken should be cooking for 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, use the tongs to set the cooked chicken on the cleaned cutting board. Allow the chicken to cool for about 10 minutes before moving on to the next step.
- The chicken should have cooled down a bit, making it easier to follow along with this step. Use the chef’s knife to slice the cooked chicken into the desired shape and size.
- Serve this Qdoba Adobo Chicken Recipe in a burrito, burrito bowl, taco, or however you desire. Enjoy!
Notes
- Grab a fresh lime, roll it with pressure, cut it in half, and use the fresh lime juice to add to the flavor of this Qdoba Adobo Chicken Recipe!
- The adobo sauce can be obtained from a can of chipotle peppers. Just drain the sauce and use it for this recipe if you are unable to obtain adobo sauce from anywhere else.
- Instead of Italian seasoning, use oregano to replace it as an additional option!
