Grilled Honey Chipotle Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
1½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1½ tbsp pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
For the Glaze:
⅓ cup honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Directions:
1. Add the canola oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and pureed chipotle peppers to a large ziplock bag. Add the chicken breasts to the bag and squeeze the bag to distribute the paste evenly over the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the honey and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
3. Place the marinated chicken breasts on a hot grill. Grill until each side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (about 4-5 minutes per side). During the final few minutes of grilling, brush the honey glaze over the chicken. Serve immediately.
Notes: For sweeter chicken breasts, reserve 1 to 2 tablespoons of the honey glaze to drizzle over the chicken right before serving.
