Ingredients
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce $0.30
- 2 Tbsp honey $0.54
- 2 Tbsp lime juice (about one lime) $0.59
- 1 clove garlic, minced $0.08
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil, divided $0.08
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs $6.78
- 2 sliced green onions (optional) $0.22
Instructions
- Mince the chipotle peppers. Combine the minced peppers in a bowl with the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and 1 Tbsp cooking oil.
- Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Toss the chicken in the marinade until evenly coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top with sliced green onions and serve.
