Chipotle Marinated Chicken

4 garlic cloves
5 chipotle chiles, reconstituted and drained *
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
Black pepper, to taste
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

In a food processor, process garlic until minced. Add chipotle chiles and process until minced. Add cilantro, honey, vegetable oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, cumin, and black pepper; process until smooth. Pour over chicken; cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight (chicken may be marinated in a zip-lock plastic bag as well).

Heat grill and grill chicken over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in center.

Serves 8.

* To reconstitute chipotle chiles, simply cover them in boiling water and soak them for approximately 1 hour. If whole dried chipotles aren't available, 2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce or 2 teaspoon of ground chipotle powder may be substituted.
