Step By Step

Instructions

1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400ºF). Rub 1 tbsp of olive oil over the ButcherBox Organic Free-Range Boneless Chicken Thighs and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred with two forks.
2
Make the Tinga Sauce: While the chicken rests, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle peppers, oregano, and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cook together for an additional 5-10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
4
Spoon the cooked rice (or cauliflower rice) into four bowls. Layer on the chicken tinga mixture. Finish by topping with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
