Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the grill. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot and garnish with fresh lime wedges or chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy your Chipotle Boneless Chicken Breasts!
