Sweet and Sticky Grilled Chicken Breast

Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeños with a smoky chocolate flavor and a medium hot rating. They are very popular in Mexican recipes and southwest recipes and you can also get them canned in adobo sauce, which is a dark and spicy chili paste.

The canned version is used in this grilled chicken recipe. A lot of grilled chicken recipes actually use spicy sauces or sticky sauces because they suit the grilling method very well and stop the chicken from drying out while it is being cooked in the dry heat. The molasses, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic add to the overall BBQ flavor of this delicious grilled chicken recipe.

Delicious BBQ Chicken Salad

Ingredients -

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup catsup
¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
Non-stick cooking spray
3 tablespoons molasses or sorghum
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Preparation:

Remove the stems from the chipotle peppers and place them with the adobo sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Spray a pan with non-stick spray and cook the garlic and onion until soft. Stir in the catsup, chipotle peppers, molasses or sorghum, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil then turn down the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the mixture has thickened a bit. This will take about 10 minutes.

Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.

Grill it on the rack of an uncovered grill over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Turn it halfway through the cooking time.

Brush on some sauce in the last 5 minutes.

Divide the salad ingredients between 6 plates.

Place a chicken breast on each plate.

Bring the rest of the sauce to the boil and serve it over the chicken breasts.
