mexican adobo chicken

This flavorful Mexican Chicken Adobo is made with traditional dried chilies and seasonings to create a smoky adobo sauce that we braise our chicken in until it&#x27;s so tender it falls off the bone!

Mexican Chicken Adobo

chicken legs

boneless (skinless chicken thighs)

olive oil (divided)

Roma tomatoes (roughly chopped)

white onion (roughly chopped)

garlic (peeled)

guajillo chiles

ancho chile

dried chipotle chile

chicken broth (divided)

apple cider vinegar

salt

coriander powder

cumin

thyme

Mexican oregano

cloves

bay leaves

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic to the pan and stir and cook until the tomatoes and onions start to char.

Add the dried chiles and 2 cups of the chicken broth and stir and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for five minutes. Add it all to a blender along with the remaining cup of broth, vinegar, salt, coriander, cumin, thyme, oregano and cloves and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken in an even layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning often to prevent burning.

Once chicken is browned on all sides, add the sauce into the pot with the chicken and add the bay leaves.

Stir to combine and let it come to a boil. Then lower the heat to low-medium, cover it with an offset lid and let it simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally as needed.

Remove the bay leaves and serve chicken with Mexican rice and freshly chopped cilantro.
