Add Step-by-Step Photos	Sparow64 / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago This is one of our "go to" meals - we use the grill year round. This is really simple to me.

Ingredients

MARINADE (Double if more than 4 pieces of chicken)

** Will use part as a marinade for the chicken, and part as a grilling sauce for the veggies**

1/2 stick melted margarine or butter

4 T chopped garlic

1/4 c white wine worcestershire sauce or lea and perrins chicken sauce

1/4 c EVOO

Seasoned salt

Garlic Pepper

Dash Cayenne Pepper

1 small can green chiles, drained

2 t cumin

1 T chili powder

2 drops Texas Pete hot sauce (more, optional)

Juice and zest of 1 lime

2 T minced onion (or shallot)

2 T fresh cilantro

1 T honey

2 oz light beer or tequila, optional

DINNER

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

4 ears yellow corn

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

1 yellow onion

1 small tub grape tomatoes

Directions

Whisk together marinade ingredients (or mix in blender - I just whisk together)

Pour half over chicken in ziploc baggie and marinate in fridge overnight, turn occasionally

Save other half of marinade for veggies

1/2 hour before grilling, remove chicken from fridge - allow to come to room temp before grilling, discard used marinade

Pull corn husks back and remove silks

Brush liberally with reserved marinade and pull husks back over corn (or wrap in foil with shiny side to corn)

Chop peppers and onions in large dice

Make large cross with 2 long pieces of foil, shiny side up

Place onions, peppers and tomatoes in large bowl, toss with remaining marinade

Pour into center of aluminum foil cross

Bring sides up to cover tightly

Place chicken and foil pack of veggies on lower rack of grill over medium heat

Grill about 12-15 minutes with lid closed

Turn chicken and veggies, place corn on top rack

Grill another 12-15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165 internal temp, or juices run clear

Remove from grill and allow to rest 5-8 minutes

Veggies can be removed when chicken is done
