Directions

1. Mix all of the spices together in a pie plate.
2. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pound them out so that they’re 1-inch / 1/2-cn thick.
3. Brush the olive oil over both sides of the chicken breasts. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
4. Heat grill to medium high and cook the chicken for 9 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes. Make sure internal temperature registers 180°F / 80°C on a meat thermometer.
5. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the chili sauce.

Chili Sauce

1. Cover the chipotle and adobe pepper with boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes. Take the peppers out of the water with a fork and cut off the tops. Remove the seeds if you want less heat.
2. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
3. Dice the chicken into ½-inch pieces and place on lettuce leaves. Top with chili sauce as desired.
4. There may be leftover chili sauce. Place the remainder in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to a week. Serve on eggs, meat or poultry.
