Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small can chipotles in adobo
  • 1/2 C honey
  • 5 to 6 chicken breasts
  • optional fresh green onions chopped

Instructions

  • In a Ninja, blender, food processor, bowl... blend together one can of chipotles in adobo sauce and the honey.
  • Pour half of this mixture over the chicken breasts in a zip lock baggie
  • Smoosh and squeeze the chicken and honey chipotle sauce until fully covered
  • Place in a refrigerator and marinate for several hours
  • Grill the chicken over medium coals or on the low side of a high/low gas grill until thoroughly cooked. I do not ever cook chicken without a thermometer nearby - I suggest y'all don't either
  • Once the chicken is moments from being removed from the grill - brush with the set aside honey chipotle mixture
  • Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes - brush with the honey chipotle mixture, again
  • Just prior to serving, top with fresh chopped green onions

Notes

** If you are sensitive to heat - start with 1/2 Can of Chipotles, or even just a few chipotles** This is a smoky hot dish ;) we like it that way, but I don't want you to sear your tastebuds!
