Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, juiced, divided
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
⅛ cup water, or as needed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, butterflied
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine 1 to 5 chipotle peppers with their sauce, onion, garlic, olive oil, juice of 1 lime, cumin, oregano, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed if too thick. Reserve a small amount of marinade mixture to serve with grilled chicken.
  • Combine chicken with marinade in a plastic storage bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess.
  • Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side, being careful not to overcook.
  • Remove chicken from the grill and transfer to a plate. Squeeze juice of remaining lime onto chicken and garnish with cilantro. Serve with reserved marinade mixture.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I like to shred the chicken and then use it in tacos, sandwiches, or salads.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken was dry and overcooked. I think I might have grilled it for too long.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chipotle powder.
