Instructions

In a blender, combine cherries, chipotle peppers, olive oil, honey, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with a fresh lime wedge and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions.
