Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, combine chipotles in adobo, olive oil and garlic cloves and puree until minced. Add chopped onion, chopped cilantro, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt and process until onion is finely chopped.

Arrange chicken breasts in a pan and spread chipotle mixture over both sides of the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight if you're planning ahead.

Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, moving to cooler part of grill as needed to prevent burning and brushing with reserved marinade during last 5 minutes of grilling, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and serve.

Alternatively, you can grill these on your stove top in a frying pan.
