Description
This Chipotle Honey Marinated Chicken is a great weeknight meal that is full of yummy robust flavors. The slightly smoky sauce comes together quickly and creates a “lick the plate” kind of meal. We love to serve this recipe plated with a couple sides (our favorites are rice, steamed veggies and a side salad.) It’s healthy, tasty and almost too simple to make. Trust us – it’s one you need to try!
Ingredients
- 2–3 pounds chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a medium bowl. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. You can also use a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Trim any excess fat from your chicken breasts and place each breast in a large Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (4-5 hours is ideal).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking dish (or sheet) with parchment paper. Place each chicken breast in dish, top with any excess sauce and bake for 25-30 minutes, until no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees.
