Chicken

Chipotle Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Chipotle Sauce

    In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, sour cream, lime juice, honey, and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Add Chipotle Sauce and Cheese

    During the last minute of grilling, top each chicken breast with a generous amount of chipotle sauce and sprinkle Monterrey Jack cheese over it. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
