Smoked Paprika and Chipotle Baked Chicken
Cooking chicken is like walking into a Jelly Belly store, you know there is potential but there are so many different choices you are not sure which one will lead you astray and that is the direction I feared I was headed tonight when I was making this chicken. After making the wet rub, for lack of a better term, I took a taste and it was well not good. Hoping for the best I pushed onward. Much to my surprise the resulting chicken was not half bad, in fact I may make it again.
Now that is some good looking chicken. Even the simplest of recipes can yield a complex result on occasion.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp melted margarine
1 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a glass baking dish. Wash chicken under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a bowl combine all ingredients besides chicken and mix until uniform. Spread mixture over entire surface of chicken, rubbing into the meat. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until done.
While not my favorite chicken recipe of late, I mean its no Curried Chicken, this wasn’t half bad and we may make it again at a later date?
