Hi All!

Chicken and rice sound nice? Not interesting enough? Well this one is SPICY SWEET made with canned Chipotle peppers for a slightly smoky flavor. Better? Served over rice with the tangy relish is really nice over a bed of steaming hot rice.

Chipotles are dried, smoked jalapeños. Adobo is a tangy, slightly sweet red sauce. ... You can use just the chipotles for intense smoky chile heat or just the sauce if you want a sour-sweet flavor and a slightly less fiery smoky heat.

Enjoy!

SPICY SWEET GLAZED CHICKEN AND TANGY RELISH

4 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, shopped
2 tablespoons orange juice

DIRECTIONS:
Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. Finely
chop 1 of the chiles. In another bowl mix the honey, chopped
chile, and 2 1/2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce. (refrigerate
remaining chipotle chiles and sauce for another use) Set aside
1 tablespoon of the honey glaze mixture. Brush half of the
remaining glaze over 1 side of each chicken breast half. Place

CHIPOTLE CHILIS

Want another idea for eating chipotles? You can make a savory spread or dip and use it for everything from sandwiches to dipping. Just combine 3 or 4 finely chopped peppers with 1 cup of either mayonaisse, cream cheese, mustard or barbecue sauce and let sit in the fridge for at least a 1/2 hour before using. Store in an airtight container. Be adventurous!
