Instructions
1

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

2

Whisk until well blended. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken.

3

Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.

5

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
