Southwestern Marinated Grilled Chicken Dinner
From sparow64 15 years ago
- 35 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This is one of our "go to" meals - we use the grill year round. This is really simple to me. When I make it for guests, they say "you should have kept it simple" - what could be simpler than whisking together a marinade, and letting everything sit on the grill, and turn it once? Read more LOL We sometimes make the whole dinner, and sometimes just use the marinade for chicken only. I like to marinate overnight, but, a few hours is sufficient, too. See less
