Once hot, arrange chicken in pan and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Flip, and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness, until the juices run clear and chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and allow to slightly cool.

Prepare Chipotle Vinaigrette by combining all dressing ingredients in a blender or immersion blender cup. Blend until smooth.
