Steps

1Make the Chipotle Marinade
2Add all of the marinade ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
3Place the chicken thighs into to a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and toss until they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and let the chicken marinade, in the fridge, for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
4After the chicken has marinated remove it from the fridge.
5Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken thighs until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, around 6-8 minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
6Let the chicken rest before slicing and serving either with sides or in a burrito bowl.
