Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers)
2 tablespoon ancho chili powder
2 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced onion
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup water

Instructions

Split the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Place in a gallon sized zip top bag.
Mix together the olive oil, adobo sauce, ancho chili powder, lime juice, minced garlic, minced onion, ground cumin, dried oregano, ground coriander, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir in the water. Pour over the chicken breasts in the bag and turn to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the fridge. Grease the grill gates and cook over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
Remove from grill and rest for 5 minutes before chopping into pieces.
