Chipotle Chicken Queso Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken thighs (Boneless or skin-on is not specified; marinate before cooking.)
• 0.5 can Adobo sauce (For the chicken marinade; can size is not specified. The queso method also calls for adobo sauce, but gives no separate amount.)
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• Salt (While cooking; amount to taste.)
• 150 g Cottage cheese
• 30 g Cream cheese
• 71 g Chicken broth
• 50 g Cheddar cheese
• 1 Poblano pepper (Roast, peel, and dice; the transcript says to remove the skin.)
• Cilantro-lime rice (For serving; amount and recipe are not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the chicken thighs in the adobo sauce with the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Refrigerate before cooking; the source does not specify a marinating duration.

2. 2

   Blend the cottage cheese, cream cheese, adobo sauce, and chicken broth until smooth. The source does not state a separate amount of adobo sauce for the queso.

3. 3

   Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for 5 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt while it cooks. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. 4

   Roast the poblano pepper at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Transfer the roasted pepper to a bowl and cover it to steam. Peel off the skin, then dice the pepper.

6. 6

   Mix the diced poblano into the queso.

7. 7

   Scoop cilantro-lime rice into bowls, add the cooked chicken, and pour the queso over the top.

Notes

The source gives no amounts for the adobo sauce used in the queso or the cilantro-lime rice, and does not state how long to marinate the chicken. It lists cheddar for the queso, while the written blending step omits it; the transcript says to blend the cheddar with the other queso ingredients. The adobo sauce amount is specified only as half a can for the marinade, but the can size is not given.
