Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup chipotle-infused extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Chipotle Vinegar Glaze:
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
Salt to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together the chipotle-infused extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will create a flavorful marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the chipotle olive oil marinade over them. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the chipotle vinegar glaze. Blend together the apple cider vinegar, chipotle peppers, honey or brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness and spiciness according to your preference.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked with appealing grill marks. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chipotle vinegar glaze onto the chicken breasts, allowing it to create a flavorful caramelized coating.
Once the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is nicely caramelized, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Grilled Chipotle Vinegar Chicken with your preferred sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Drizzle any remaining chipotle vinegar glaze over the chicken before serving to enhance the flavor.
Enjoy the smoky and tangy goodness of Grilled Chipotle Vinegar Chicken, enhanced by the rich flavors of chipotle-infused olive oil!
Note: The intensity of chipotle flavor can vary among different chipotle-infused olive oils, so adjust the amount to your preferred level of spiciness.
