INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness

DIRECTIONS

  1. Whisk together lime juice, vinegar, orange juice, wine, and honey in a bowl until the honey dissolves. Add salt, pepper, chipotle powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cinnamon, oregano, cumin, ginger, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and olive oil; whisk to mix. Place chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag, pour in marinade, and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Cook chicken on the preheated grill approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and there are no signs of pink in the meat.
