This recipe, from Simply Scratched, has saved me many of days. I’ve never been a big fan of chipotle peppers and certainly didn’t think my child liked this somewhat spicy pepper either. One trip to the Chipotle restaurant and all the sudden Chicken tacos are the best meal ever! Though we do visit Chipotle on occasion, this is an easy recipe to mix up in the morning and have ready to finish on the BBQ for a winning dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic smashed, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, roughly chopped
- a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: add in some fresh lime zest or chopped cilantro leaves.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
In a mini food processor add olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and chopped chipotles.
Let the food processor run until the marinade is thick but not chunky.
Pour over chicken and marinade for two hours {remove 30 minutes prior to grilling}.
Heat your grill to medium/ medium high heat and grill the chicken 6 to 8 minutes a side or until no longer pink.
Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
