Ingredients

  • 3 chipotle peppers (in adobo sauce)

  • 2 tbsp. honey

  • 2 tbsp. lime juice (about one lime)

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil (divided)

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 2 green onions (sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Top with sliced green onions and serve.
