Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic cloves, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for approximately 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is well-charred but not burned.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Garnish the grilled chicken with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot.
