Ingredients

  • 2 whole Canned Chipotle Peppers, Chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
  • 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 whole Lime, Juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1/4 cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/4 cups Water

Method

  • Add everything but the chicken and water into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the chicken into a gallon-sized sealable bag, then add in the marinade.
  • Seal the bag, squish the ingredients around to coat the chicken, put the bag into a dish and put it into the refrigerator.
  • Let this marinate for four hours or preferably overnight.
  • For this recipe you can pick your preferred methodyou can grill, bake, or pan sear (which is the route I took on this as it was pretty darn cold outside).
  • Heat a large, non-stick skillet on medium, to medium high heat.
  • When pan is hot remove the chicken from the marinade and add the chicken into the pan.
  • Cook until the first side is nicely seared.
  • Flip it over and cook another few minutes, until the other side is seared.
  • Then add in the water, reduce the heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 10 more minutes before removing it from the heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and onto a cutting board, or plate, and cut into bite sized pieces.
  • Return it back to the skillet to keep the chicken warm, and bathe in the sauce.
  • When you are ready to serve, add chicken to your tacos, sandwiches, or salad.
  • These chipotle chicken tacos were perfectly balanced with sweet, heat, and tang.
  • I hope you enjoy!
