Chipotle Lime Chicken Breasts
30 people added this to their Recipe Box
Chipotle peppers, actually dried smoked jalape?eppers, add distinctive smokiness to this dish. A southwestern coleslaw that includes corn, black beans and sweet red pepper would be a perfect partner. When working with hot peppers, wear rubber gloves and be careful not to let hands come in contact with your face.

2 canned chipotle peppers, minced
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, or parsley
2 tbsp each finely grated lime rind and lime juice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 tbsp vegetable oil
