I found this recipe the other day and it sounded so fresh and summer-y! We are loving grilled chicken right now (maybe because we don't have a kitchen...) and all the flavors in this bowl worked so well together. It was delicious!
Honey Chipotle Chicken Marinade
by: melskitchencafe.com
2 Tbsp. oil
2 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. chopped adobe peppers in chipotle sauce (get as much sauce as you can)
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. minced garlic
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
pinch of black pepper
2 lbs thin cut chicken breasts
In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients and then add the chicken. Marinate it for 2-24 hours. I did mine for most of the day, and it was so tender! Cook your chicken on the grill or in the oven, or however you prefer. Slice it in strips.
Cilantro Lime Rice
adapted from: melskitchencafe.com
1 Tbsp. butter
1 1/4 c. rice
2 1/2 c. chicken broth
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
juice and zest of 1 lime
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
I make my rice in a rice cooker, so I just added all these ingredients to my rice cooker, stirred them, and then cooked them as usual.
