Chipotle Bowls

My town doesn’t have a Chipotle so this is my copycat version.

Honey Vinaigrette Dressing:
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 chipotles in adobo sauce
3 garlic cloves
1 lime, juiced
1 cup olive oil
Combine all ingredients in a food processor for 20 seconds except olive oil. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and blend for 20 more seconds. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Chipotle Chicken:
1/2 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons ancho chile poder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast

Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in a food processor and blend until it forms a paste. Transfer paste into a measuring cup and add water until it reaches the 1 cup mark. Pour over chicken and marinade 30 minutes to overnight. Bake, grill, or pan sear chicken to cook and then dice for your bowl.

Cilantro Lime Rice:
1 cup long rain rice or basmati
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice (juice from 1 lime)

Add rice, water, oil, and salt into your rice cooker or pot. If using stove top, cook until water has been absorbed. Once your rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and add in cilantro and lime.

Corn
Red onion
White cheddar cheese
Sour cream

Layer your rice, beans, chicken, and any toppings you want! Serve with vinaigrette!
