Grilled Chipotle Citrus Chicken

Grilled Chipotle Citrus Chicken

12   boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1     cup lime or orange juice
1/2 cup olive oil
6     chipotle peppers in adobe sauce finely chopped (purchase small cans in international section of grocery store)
1/3  cup honey

Mix the juice, honey, oil and peppers together until combined.  Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a large glass baking dish.  Refrigerate the remaining mixture.  Place the chicken in the mixture and cover completely.  Refrigerate and marinate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours turning and forking occasionally.  Spray the grill with a non-stick coating and set the temperature on medium.  Remove the chicken from the mixture and place the breasts on the grill.  Cook for about 7 minutes.

Use 1/3 of the reserved mixture to brush on the grilling chicken.  Turn and cook the chicken for another 7 minutes, brushing once again with the marinate.  Watch the chicken carefully and continue to grill it  to your preference.  Do not overcook.  In the meantime, bring the remaining marinade to a boil and serve it with the chicken.
