Baked Lemon Chipotle
Chicken Recipe
Recipe Type: Poultry,
Chipotle,
Chicken
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (or to taste)*
1/2 cup reduced calorie (light) mayonnaise
Juice
of 1 lemon
4 (6 to 7 ounces each) chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
4 tablespoons bread crumbs
* Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked
jalapenos canned in a spicy tomato sauce, which is sometimes called adobo sauce. They
are available in your grocery store in the Latin section.
Preparation:
In a small bowl, combine chipotle chiles, mayonnaise, and lemon
juice. In a baking dish, arrange the chicken in one
layer; coat them completely with the chipotle/mayonnaise mixture. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Preheat
oven to 375 degrees F. Before baking sprinkle 1 tablespoon breads crumbs on each
chicken breast. Baked approximately 20 minutes
or until a
meat thermometer registers an
internal temperature
of 165 degrees F
(juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).
 This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and
use in my cooking.
I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my
cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer
shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed
for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen
Thermometer is used by
chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click
