These have great flavor - not too spicy, and they're pretty to serve.

Very tasty. Made them in electric skillet. Very nice change from chicken breast!

Very easy weeknight dinner. The sauce wasn't spicy enough for us, so I increased the adobo sauce to about 4 tsp. (I'm sure this changed the sodium level a lot; maybe chipotle powder to keep that level down?) Also, we cooked them on the grill rather than in a pan. They were good with a veggies and greens salad and potato skins. They would also make a good sandwich.
