p2160112p2160114This works well with a salad, pizza, taco, or anything you can think of. Hell, eat it by itself!

Ingredients:

-1 chicken breast
-2 chipotle pods, ground                 worldspice.com
-1 tsp. dried chopped onion
-1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil  (you’ll never get me to abbreviate extra virgin olive oil)
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-1 tsp. Utah Basin Salt          worldspice.com

Lay down a piece of ceran wrap and throw the chicken breast on it and place another layer of ceran wrap  on top then pound it down until you get about a half inch piece of chicken breast ready to turn into something awesome.  In a small bowl mix together the chipotle, chopped onion, olive oil,  garlic powder, and salt. Put the chicken in a pan and rub the mixture over the chicken (get your hands dirty!).  Take the chicken in the pan and place in the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes, make sure you cover it.  Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and get a large skillet and pour some extra virgin olive oil and set the burner to medium high heat.  Once the olive oil heats up place the chicken on and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side (there is no exact science here, just make sure the chicken is cooked through).   Let rest then eat!

Enjoy,
