Garlic Chicken with Chipotle Mayonnaise
Serves 8 as appetizers.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 1 canned chipotle chile
- 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
- Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)
Instructions
Chicken
- Heat broiler.
- Combine cilantro, pepper, garlic and salt in a wide pie plate. Add chicken pieces and coat them all over with the mixture. Place the chicken pieces on a lightly oiled, shallow baking pan and broil about 6 inches from the heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
Chipotle Mayonnaise
- Chop the chipotle chile fine - it should become a rough paste. Stir it into the mayonnaise. If you want, and add the lime juice to the mayonnaise. Serve with chicken pieces.
Notes
You can serve chicken pieces on long skewers or put toothpicks in them to make them easier to pick up.
