Chicken sweetened with honey and kicked up with Chipotles in abobo sauce for added smokness. Serve over a bed of greens, a bed of rice, in a wrap, or with any favorite summer salad. Tenderizing Chicken Breasts in this method keeps the meat from sticking and tearing, plus there is no mess. Wet the inside of a gallon freezer bag with a little water or oil. Place one or two (depending on size) boneless, skinless chicken breasts inside the bag - seal part way. Lay the bag on a work surface and pound the meat to the desired thickness.

I took some skinless, boneless chicken breasts and marinated it with plenty of the chiles. I put the chiles and fresh cilantro in my food processor for just a sec and then added the rest of the ingredients and poured this mixture of the chicken in a ziploc bag. I grilled the chicken on my George Foreman grill. Yum!

This produced a very moist chicken breast with great flavor! I halved all the ingredients as I was only doing 3 breasts and used the cilantro (love that) and added some garlic, like I do to most things. I will certainly make this chicken again! Just wanted to update this today to say that I used this marinade with salmon last night that i grilled and it was wonderful! I didn't make enough as my children loved the salmon too! I will use this again for that.

Wow, wow, wow was this ever good! Wayne made these for me (of course) and paired it with a Caesar Salad for a terrific summertime dinner. He left out the parsley but otherwise made it as stated. DELICIOUS dish that will go on our regular rotation. Thanks Rita! Made for ZWT 3

We thought this was between a 4 and a 5 star, so I will go with a 5. It was too spicy for my kids. I used 2 chipotle chiles in adobo and my husband and I liked it very much. Next time, I will use just 1 of the chipotle chiles and hopefully my kids will enjoy it more. The smokiness of the chiles along with the sweetness of the honey gave the chicken a wonderful depth of flavor. Thanks, Rita!
