Here's what you need...

- 2 Tablespoon chili in adobo sauce
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry. Butterfly cut the chicken, opening each breast up like a book. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a baking pan and set aside in the fridge as you prepare the sauce.
- Place the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to cook for about 10 minutes. Use a hand blender to puree the sauce until smooth.
- Coat the chicken with half of the sauce and marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cover the chicken with foil and bake chicken for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve warm with a spoonful of the reserved sauce. Enjoy!
