Copycat Chipotle Chicken

This is my copycat version of the chicken from Chipotle, and it couldn't be easier. There's no marinating required; just rub the chicken with a bold, smoky spice blend and bake it in a hot oven. Like the original, it's not meant to be served on its own—it's more of a flavorful base for all your favorite Mexican-style meals. I like to serve it over greens with fresh corn salsa, a scoop of guacamole, and a drizzle of my Chipotle-honey vinaigrette—it's basically my go-to Chipotle order, recreated at home. Leftovers are great too: top with Monterey Jack and microwave until melty, or tuck into a quesadilla for a quick lunch.

Fresh Corn Salsa

This fresh corn salsa is a quick, flavor-packed mash-up of Chipotle's roasted chile corn salsa and fresh tomato salsa—perfect for topping salads, burrito bowls, and tacos. It comes together in minutes and pairs perfectly with my copycat chipotle chicken, carne asada, or even as a dip with tortilla chips.

Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette

I love Chipotle's chipotle honey vinaigrette so I came up with this copycat version by fiddling around with the ingredients listed on the Chipotle website. It tastes almost identical to the original. Toss it with greens, beans, corn, avocado, grilled meats—or all of the above!
