Roasted Chipotle Honey Chicken

Yesterday I was reading about chipotle peppers, because I always hear about chefs on the Food Network using them. I decided to try my hand at cooking with them, and the results were wonderful!

Recipe:

Ingredients for chicken:
2 chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce (seeds removed)
2 tsp honey
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Ingredients for potatoes:
1 sweet potato
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp olive oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Spray cookie sheet and 8x8 pan with nonstick spray

Dice potatoes into a small dice. Toss with olive oil, and add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Spread out the potatoes on a cookie sheet.

Filet the chicken breasts in half so they are thin. Mix all other ingredients in a bowl, and rub the paste on the chicken breasts. Place them in the baking dish.

Put both the sweet potatoes and chicken in the oven for about 20 minutes.

When the chicken is almost cooked and the potatoes are done, crank the broiler up to high. Watch everything closely, and when the potatoes are looking a bit toasted, and the chicken looks glazed and a little browned, it is ready to serve. garnish the sweet potatoes with chives.


When I make this again, I think I will add some onions to the sweet potatoes.
