Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp light olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
1 (7 1/2 oz) can chipotle chiles in adobo (use 2 peppers out of the can-chop using food-prep gloves)
1/2 cup honey barbecue sauce
1 cup fontina cheese, shredded (or cubed )
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Rinse and dry your thighs and place them in a glass baking dish.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet on medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until soft (about 3 minutes).
Stir in the adobo peppers and saute for 2 more minutes turning the heat down to medium-low.
Stir in the BBQ sauce and fontina. Stir and melt the cheese with the sauce (about 4 minutes).
Stir in the cream until blended then stir in the lime juice and blend well.
Remove skillet from heat and pour sauce over the chicken thighs.
Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove chicken from the oven to a serving platter and top with the fresh cilantro then serve!
