Chipotle Cumin Chicken Thighs

Chipotle Cumin Chicken Thighs

I saw a recipe on Simply Scratch that looked delicious. I adapted the recipe by adding a bit more spices, a little less olive oil, and chicken thighs instead of breasts. The spicy flavor combination was excellent and the chicken turned out moist, tender, and delicious. These chipotle cumin chicken thighs can either be served as is or chopped up and used in tacos. This is a quick and easy recipe that took only minutes to make – perfect when you don’t have time to marinate.

Heat a grill pan that’s been coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the HOT pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the thighs over and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the grill pan and let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

  1. That looks STUNNING!!! I have done something similar with a moroccan chicken recipe I found. Double the spices and 1/2 the oil! LOL! I absolutely LOVE the foods and flavors of the middle east! I’m book marking this one for sure! 🙂

  2. Just tried this recipe. I absolutely loved it. The chicken was flavorful through and through and I loved home it made the house smell. I will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation.

    1. Shirley,

      Thanks for letting me know it was missing. I have corrected the recipe. I used 1 1/2 tbsp sunflower oil.
