Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest before slicing.

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let flavors meld.

    In a small bowl, mix sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Pickled Red Onions Preparation

  1. 5

    Pickle the Onions

    In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer. Place the sliced onions in a jar and pour the hot liquid over them. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
