* Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapenos canned in a spicy tomato sauce, which is sometimes called adobo sauce. They are available in your grocery store in the Latin section.

In a small bowl, combine chipotle chiles, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.

In a baking dish, arrange the chicken in one layer; coat them completely with the chipotle/mayonnaise mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Before baking sprinkle 1 tablespoon breads crumbs on each chicken breast. Baked approximately 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).
