Directions
Combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the chicken and toss until completely coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Heat grill pan to medium heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and wipe off excess
Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Baste with the reserved marinade for the final 5 minutes of cooking time.
