Method

For the Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

For the Creamy Chipotle Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Mix Well

    Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the creamy chipotle sauce over the grilled chicken or serve it on the side.
