The chipotle marinade infuses the chicken with a smoky and spicy flavor, while also keeping it incredibly moist and tender.

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the chipotle marinade over them. Seal the bag, making sure to remove any excess air, and massage the marinade into the chicken to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
4. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
