This chipotle braised chicken is a vibrant and aromatic dish that brings a smoky, Mexican-inspired warmth to your dinner table. By slowly simmering the chicken in a light broth infused with spicy chipotle chilli powder, fragrant garlic, and zesty lime, the meat becomes incredibly tender while absorbing a deep, savoury flavour. It is a wonderful way to enjoy a satisfying, protein-rich meal that feels indulgent without being heavy.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy olive oil, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced lifestyle. The addition of fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime provides a bright finish that perfectly complements the subtle heat of the peppers. Serve this versatile chicken alongside a pile of steamed greens or a light cauliflower rice for a nutritious and delicious midweek supper.

How to make Chipotle Braised Chicken

Cook onion, garlic, and bay leaf in butter and 1/2 tablespoons oil with 1/8 teaspoons salt in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Pat chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Brown chicken in remaining tablespoon oil in 2 batches, 5 to 6 minutes per batch, transferring to a plate as browned.

Discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, then stir in chilli powder and onion mixture and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in water and bring to a simmer, scraping up brown bits.

Add chicken and cook, covered, over low heat, turning chicken once, until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken and onions with a slotted spoon to a platter. Skim off and discard fat from sauce, then boil until slightly thickened. Stir in lime juice and coriander and spoon sauce over chicken.
