Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard any remaining marinade.

Step 5

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred with grill marks.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, which allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy chicken.

Step 7

Serve the Paleo Chipotle Grilled Chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete Paleo meal.
