Qdoba-Style Chicken Directions

  • In a large zip-top bag or bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, oregano, chili powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  • Toss well to coat the chicken evenly. For the best flavor, marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to cook, bring the chicken to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet and cook, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 180°F. This should take about 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the thighs.
  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred as desired.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings or accompaniments.
