Ingredients
2
chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1
teaspoon
chili powder
1/2
red onion
chopped
2
cloves
garlic
1
teaspoon
cumin
1
teaspoon
oregano
1
teaspoon
salt
1/2
teaspoon
pepper
1/2
cup
vegetable oil
4
boneless chicken breasts
pounded is optional
Instructions
Combine all ingredients (minus the chicken) in a blender and blend until smooth.
Place the chicken in a large glass container (or large sealable plastic bag) and coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate the marinating chicken for 2 to 3 hours minimum (overnight would provide the best flavor).
Remove chicken from the bag and grill for four to five minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove chicken from heat and let it rest for five minutes prior to serving.
Notes
For a spicier marinade, opt for an additional chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and remove the teaspoon of chili powder from the recipe.
