This makes a thick, delicious paste that coats the chicken with tons of flavor. I like to make more than one batch at a time, apportioned into quart-sized ziplocs containing enough marinade for two chicken breasts. I freeze my chicken in the same bag with the marinade; the night before I intend to grill, I put the whole bag in the fridge and let it defrost / marinade overnight and all through the next day. I like to serve some fresh, homemade pico de gallo on top. Note: When I open a new can of chipotles, I always freeze them individually with the adobo sauce split evenly among each "batch." Therefore, I'm not positive about the amount of adobo sauce I add, but the 1 tablespoon listed below is a decent approximation!

SERVES 4 , 4 servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup chipotle pepper, from a can
1 tablespoon adobo sauce, from the canned chipotles
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 white onion
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water

1
Add all ingredients into the work bowl of a food processor.
2
Process until pureed.
3
Transfer mixture to a bowl or ziploc bag, add chicken, and let sit in marinade overnight.
4
Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side.
