chipotle chicken = yummy

I was in the mood for spciy chicken tonight so i used the following recipe and it came out so good - i could not find chipotle peppers, so i used chiptole pepper seasoning and I baked it on 400 for about 15 minutes bc we are out of gas for the BBQ

We also had lipton's cajun sides rice and potato pancakes
and a yummy margarita with a splash of chambord!!

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN
4 garlic cloves

5 chipotle chiles, reconstituted and drained (see instructions below)

1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro

2 T. honey

3 T. vegetable oil

2 T. balsamic vinegar

juice of 1 lime

1/2 t. ground cumin

black pepper, to taste

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

In a food processor, process garlic until minced. Add chipotle chiles and process until minced. Add cilantro, honey, vegetable oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, cumin, and black pepper; process until smooth. Pour over chicken; cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight (chicken may be marinated in a zip-lock plastic bag as well).

Preheat barbecue and grill chicken over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in center.

Serves 8.

Note: To reconstitute chipotle chiles, simply cover them in boiling water and soak them for approximately 1 hour. If whole dried chipotles aren’t available, 2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce or 2 tsp. of ground chipotle powder may be substituted.
