Instructions

Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create a total of 6 thinner pieces. (If you purchased chicken cutlets, skip this step.)

Place the chicken in a zip-top freezer bag or glass dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, chipotle chili, adobo, onion powder, cumin, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Oil the grill grates or pan.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer it to the grill or grill pan. If using the marinade as a sauce, transfer it to a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes.

Grill the chicken until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 4 minutes per side.

Serve drizzled with the cooked marinade sauce and topped with tomatoes and green salsa, if desired.
