CHIPOTLE CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and pan-fry chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Place the chipotle peppers, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, cumin, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, and olive oil into a blender.

Pour in the marinade, shake, and seal. Marinade at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
