Ingredients

3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced (about ¼ cup) $0.35*)

2 Tbsp honey ($0.31)

1 lime (juiced, (2 Tbsp) $0.25)

1 garlic clove (minced, (½ Tbsp) $0.06)

½ tsp salt ($0.02)

2 Tbsp cooking oil (divided, $0.08)

6 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless (850g) $6.19)

2 green onions (sliced, $0.22)

Instructions

1 Gather and prepare all ingredients.

2 Make the marinade

3 Mince the chipotle peppers. Combine the minced peppers in a bowl with the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and 1 Tbsp cooking oil.

4 Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Toss the chicken in the marinade until evenly coated.

5 Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to one day. If marinating longer than one hour, refrigerate the chicken as it marinates.

6 When ready to cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add the remaining 1 Tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet.

7 Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook on one side until the water released by the chicken evaporates, the marinade has reduced to a glaze, and the chicken has browned. Flip the chicken over and cook on the second side until browned and cooked through.**

8 Top with sliced green onions and serve.
