Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped chipotles in adobo, maple syrup, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs, ensuring they’re well coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together white vinegar, maple syrup, and mayonnaise to create a tangy dressing. Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts and dice the jalapeño, then toss them in with the cilantro and a pinch of salt. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture, stirring to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced yellow onion, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, searing each side for about 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- After the chicken is browned, add the black beans and fire-roasted diced tomatoes to the skillet, followed by a splash of chicken broth. Stir to combine and let it simmer on low heat for 40-50 minutes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, carefully remove it from the skillet and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the skillet, letting it soak up the flavorful sauce for an additional 5 minutes.
- To assemble, spoon cooked rice into serving bowls. Top each with shredded chicken and Brussels sprout slaw. Garnish with radishes, avocado, and lime wedges.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken longer for enhanced flavor. Feel free to adjust spice levels and toppings to your preference.
