• porții: 6 servings
• timp activ: 5 minutes
• timp total: 50 minutes

Ingrediente

3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce ($0.30)

2 Tbsp honey ($0.54)

2 Tbsp lime juice (about one lime) ($0.59)

1 clove garlic, minced ($0.08)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

2 Tbsp cooking oil, divided ($0.08)

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs ($6.78)

2 sliced green onions (optional) ($0.22)

Instrucțiuni

Mince the chipotle peppers. Combine the minced peppers in a bowl with the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and 1 Tbsp cooking oil.

Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Toss the chicken in the marinade until evenly coated.

Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to one day. If marinating longer than one hour, refrigerate the chicken as it marinates.

When ready to cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add the remaining 1 Tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook on one side until the water released by the chicken evaporates, the marinade has reduced to a glaze, and the chicken has browned. Flip the chicken over and cook on the second side until browned and cooked through.

Top with sliced green onions and serve.
