Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce
  • zest+ juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Bowls:

  • 4 servings chipotle aioli see recipe below
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice I did cilantro lime rice
  • 6 cups coleslaw mix or grilled veggies

For the Peach Salsa:

  • 3 peaches diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice

Let's Make It
 

  • Toss the chicken together with the seasoning, chipotle, lime juice + zest and olive oil.
  • Grill, bake or pan fry the chicken thighs until cooked to 165℉.
  • In the meantime, make the rice and toss in lime juice, and cilantro if desired.
  • For these bowls, I love grilled veggies (whatever I have on hand) or just using coleslaw mix for an easy green and a little crunch!
  • Layer these bowls up with the rice, chicken, veggies and either chopped peaches or peach salsa and the chipotle aioli.
