Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts ((See NOTE 1))
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (separated)
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instruction

  • In a medium size bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, chipotle chili and garlic powders, cumin, cilantro and salt until well combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade.
  • Add chicken breasts to a glass baking dish or gallon size zip top bag. Pour marinade over chicken breasts and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour. (See Note 2)
  • Add remaining tablespoon of oil to hot skillet. Cook chicken for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on medium-high. Baste with marinade, then turn and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Baste again, cover and cook on low for 10 minutes (and discard any remaining marinade). Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil to keep warm until serving.
  • Slice to top salads or in tacos or keep whole and serve with a side dish or in a sandwich. Spoon reserved marinade over at time of serving.
