It adds tons of flavor and juiciness.

That being said, I also utilize the grill for super-fast dinners.

Grilled chickenis one of my go-to fast dinner options for my family.

This is averyeasy marinade to make.

Besides olive oil and salt, it only has three ingredients, the key being canned chipotle peppers.

Youre also adding some fat to the surface of the meat which will help it cook.

Marinades can boost the flavor of the meat in a big way.

While some marinades have dozens of ingredients, this one has just a few clever ones.

They all have a purpose and the finished grilled chicken has a complex and delicious flavor.

You could also use this marinade with lean pork like a pork loin.

Dont Have a Grill?

I prefer to use a grill pan or a cast iron skillet.

Start the skillet over medium heat on the stove, adding the chicken once it is hot.

Alternatively, use an immersion blender to combine.

Simple Tip!

When ready to grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

see to it your grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.

Spray the grates lightly with nonstick spray.

(Watch out for flare-ups!)

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
