Adobo Chicken Marinade
Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs of chicken breasts, diced
1 can chipotles in adobo, minced
2 to 3 tbsps mayonnaise (so all chicken is coated)
1 to 2 tbsp all-purpose Mexican seasoning
salt to taste
Instructions
In a bowl, combine diced chicken breasts, minced chipotles in adobo, mayonnaise, Mexican seasoning, and salt.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Jalapeno Ranch Dressing
Ingredients:
½ cup low-fat sour cream
1 to 2 tbsp mayonnaise
juice of 1/2 lime
1 jalapeno pepper
3 sprigs fresh cilantro
3 sprigs fresh dill
salt to taste
Instructions:
In a blender or food processor, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, dill, and salt.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, creating the perfect dressing consistency.
Putting It All Together
Preheat your grill, grill pan, or oven to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or place them directly on the grill or in the oven.
Grill or bake the chicken until it is cooked through and has a crispy char on the outside.
Serve the Adobo Chicken skewers with a generous drizzle of Jalapeno Ranch Dressing and extra on the side.
This dish is a delightful fusion of spices and freshness. Whether hosting friends or preparing a weeknight meal, this recipe is a winner!
NOTE: For a vibrant salad, toss the grilled Adobo Chicken with a medley of colorful vegetables, leafy greens, and a drizzle of the Jalapeno Ranch Dressing. The result? A salad that's not only visually appealing but bursting with bold flavors.
If you prefer a handheld delight, wrap the Adobo Chicken in a soft low-carb tortilla, wrap, or lettuce leaves, adding your favorite veggies and a generous dollop of the Jalapeno Ranch Dressing.
This versatile dish is perfect for a quick and wholesome lunch or dinner. It offers a satisfying crunch and a kick of heat in every bite.
