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.

In a small bowl, combine chipotle chiles, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.
In a baking dish, arrange the chicken in one layer; coat them completely on all
sides with the chipotle/mayonnaise mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
