Grilled Chipotle Chicken Breasts

 Serves: 2

 A spicy marinade gives this chicken its kick!

 *INGREDIENTS*

 5 chipotle peppers, seeded and chopped by hand

 1/3 cup cilantro leaves

 2 cloves garlic

 2 medium sized shallots

 1/3 cup rice vinegar

 1/4 cup olive oil

 juice of 2 limes

 1 teaspoon salt

 2 chicken breasts

 *DIRECTIONS*

 1. Purée the peppers, cilantro, garlic, shallots and vinegar in a food

 processor or blender. With the machine running add the oil slowly and then

 the lime juice. This will be the marinade for your chicken.

 2. Divide the marinade into two portions- one to marinate your chicken and

 another (in a separate container or bowl) to baste your chicken later while

 it cooks.

 3. Marinate the chicken for approximately 1 to 3 hours or overnight. Remove

 chicken from marinade and grill slowly over medium fire. Discard marinade

 used by the chicken (for food safety) and baste the chicken with excess

 marinade that was set aside.
