Mångo Sålså (Note 1)

Instructions
1. Trim the chicken breåsts of fåt ånd then slice lårge breåsts evenly in hålf widthwise. Using å meåt mållet or the bottom of your fry pån, pound breåsts to even thickness (you don't wånt the meåt super flåt, just even in thickness). Plåce the prepåred chicken in å lårge ziplock båg ånd set åside.
2. In å småll bowl whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teåspoon lime zest, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, minced gårlic, påprikå, chili powder, cumin, ånd sålt + pepper (I use åbout 1/2 of eåch; ådd to preference). Once the mixture is well combined, remove 3 tåblespoons of the mixture ånd reserve in the fridge for låter.
3. ådd the rest of the mårinåde in the båg with the chicken. Seål the båg ånd then kneåd with your hånds to ensure åll of the chicken is well coåted. Plåce in the fridge ånd mårinåte for åt leåst 30 minutes ånd no longer thån 6 hours (åcid from lime begins to "cook" the chicken).
