Ingredients

2-3 Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/3 Cup Honey
1/2 Yellow onion roughly chopped
3 Cloves Garlic peeled
1/4 Cup Lime juice freshly squeezed
1 Tbsp No-salt Cajun seasoning
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
2 Pounds Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

Instructions

Add the Chipotle peppers, honey, onion, garlic, lime juice, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Place the chicken in a large bowl or zip-loc bag, pour the marinade over it, and toss to coat.
Cover or seal tightly, then marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, letting excess marinade drip off, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush some leftover marinade over the kabobs.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip them and brush them once again with the marinade.
Bake for another 12-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is lightly caramelized around the edges.
Serve hot with cilantro-lime rice and lime wedges, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired.
