20 Minute Chipotle Lime Marinade for Grilled Chicken
Welcome to TSRI's Summer Grilling Celebration! I really am so excited to share this chicken recipe with you. We have been having so much fun with our Summer Grilling Celebration. The chicken each week has been fantastic. Chad, Munchkin and I have loved each and every dish!
Ingredients
- 5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the canned chiles
- 4 garlic cloves smashed
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 5 limes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a mini food processor combine chiles, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper. Process until you have a smooth mixture. Pour half of your marinade into a resealable bag and reserve the remaining (about 3/4 cup).
- Add chicken breasts to resealable bag and marinate for 10-15 minutes on the counter.
- Grill chicken on preheated grill, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Baste the cooked chicken with the reserved marinade and flip. Grill for about 2-3 minutes and serve with reserved marinade poured over top.
- Enjoy!
