Baked Lemon Chipotle Chicken

2 tablespoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (or to taste)*
1/2 cup reduced calorie (light) mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
4 (6 to 7 ounces each) chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
4 tablespoons bread crumbs

NOTE: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as food agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, advises against washing poultry. Rinsing chicken will not remove or kill much bacteria, and the splashing of water around the sink can spread the bacteria found in raw chicken. Cooking poultry to 165 degrees Fahrenheit effectively destroys the most common culprits behind food-borne illness.


In a small bowl, combine chipotle chiles, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.

In a baking dish, arrange the chicken in one layer; coat them completely with the chipotle/mayonnaise mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Before baking sprinkle 1 tablespoon breads crumbs on each chicken breast. Baked approximately 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165°F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).

Makes 4 servings.
