Cooking instruction summary:

First, make the marinade for the chicken: Combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender and mix until it's totally pureed. Pour into a large ziploc bag with the chicken breasts. Seal the bag, smush it around to coat the chicken, and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight if possible.) ***Note: You can use any marinade, homemade or storebought, you'd like! Anything works. After the chicken has marinated, roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold the peppers one by one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broilers.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large ziploc and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove them from the bag and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes. Lay out the roasted, seeded chile halves so they'll be ready.Grill the chicken (or saute it in a skillet) over medium-high heat for 4 minutes on the first side. Turn the chicken over, and on the cooked side lay on 2 chile halves and a nice slice of cheese. Turn the heat to medium-low and allow the chicken to finish cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, until it's totally done in the center. The cheese should melt on its own; if it needs a little help, invert an iron skillet over it (or put the lid on the skillet, if using).Remove the chicken from the skillet and serve it with rice and beans on the side. Top the chicken with a spoonful of pico de gallo or salsa.

Food Joke

If you have trouble getting your children's attention, just sit down and look comfortable. You can keep those other breeds of dogs. I got myself a laborer recliner. I called the suicide hot line yesterday and when I told him how much money I lost in the market, he told me to just go ahead. What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care. Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder. Wouldn't it be great if there was as an "edit undo" button in life? If you are incompetent, don't worry. Just think, in a few years you'll be in upper management! I thought that it was pretty cool when I married Miss Wright; that is until I found out that her first name was Always! No one is ever totally useless. They can always serve as a bad example. I'm 39 years old, and I see absolutely no advantage to growing up! I just checked a height/weight chart and f.
