Honey Chipotle Lime Chicken Bowls
These flavorful honey chipotle lime chicken bowls are amazing! Even without the "bowl" ingredients, the chicken marinade is the best!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle peppers and adobo sauce(mostly sauce if you can)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic(finely minced)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon salt(coarse, kosher salt)
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 pounds thin cut boneless skinless chicken breasts(see note)
- spinach(lettuce or spring mix)
- chopped tomatoes
- chopped or sliced avocado
- fresh limes
- cilantro lime rice
- cilantro lime dressing
Instructions
- For the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, chipotle peppers and sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a shallow dish or ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the top. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours (the flavor gets better the longer it marinades).
- Cook the chicken on a grill, in a skillet or in the oven (broiled) until cooked through, probably 4-5 minutes per side, depending on how it's cooked. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into strips and serve with any or all of the bowl ingredients. Cilantro lime dressing not optional. :)
