Preparation

Step 1

In a mini food processor add olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and chopped chipotles. Let the food processor run until the marinade is thick but not chunky. Pour over chicken and marinate in your refrigerator for two hours.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling. Heat your grill to medium/ medium high heat and grill until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

*For a spicier marinade add more chipotle chiles!
