Chicken

2 pieces Chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Watkins garlic powder

1 medium Jalapenos

4 slices Pepper jack cheese

Honey Habanero Sauce

1 cup Honey

2 pieces Habanero peppers

2 cloves Garlic

Method

Preparing the Chicken

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Preparing Toppings

Slice the Jalapenos

While the chicken is grilling, slice the jalapeno into thin rings. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.

Prepare the Cheese

Once the chicken is grilled, place 2 slices of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast and allow it to melt for about 1-2 minutes.

Making the Honey Habanero Sauce

Blend the Sauce

In a blender, combine honey, chopped habanero peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness and heat to taste.

Assembling the Dish

Top the Chicken

Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the grill and top with sliced jalapenos.

Drizzle the Sauce

Drizzle the homemade honey habanero sauce generously over the chicken and toppings.

Serve

Serve hot with your choice of sides, and enjoy your Kickin' Chicken!
