Chipotle Lime Chicken Marinade (Freezer Friendly)

1 pound raw chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers)
½ tsp paprika
2 tsp brown sugar (not paleo but so little we went for it)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp lime juice
¼ tsp salt

Combine all ingredients in a heavy duty freezer bag. Add chicken and turn to coat in marinade. Marinate chicken in the fridge for 2-24 hours. If freezing, place in freezer immediately. Thaw in fridge overnight, or by immersing bag in a bowl of cold water for a couple of hours.

To bake, heat oven to 425°F. Bake chicken in a shallow baking dish for 10 minutes, flip over, then bake for another 10-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165. Allow chicken to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
