Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until you have a smooth marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
