A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe with a zesty lime and chipotle marinade.
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Ensure the grill is clean and preheated to achieve even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the limes, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and honey. Mix well to create the marinade.
Adjust the amount of chipotle to suit your spice preference.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in a resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Massage the marinade into the chicken for even flavor distribution.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Discard the used marinade.
Avoid flipping the chicken too often to achieve nice grill marks.
Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side. Use the reserved marinade to baste the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
Basting adds extra flavor and keeps the chicken moist.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken tender.
