"I found this recipe years ago in Quick Cooking magazine. It take some marinating time, but is worth the wait. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and I've used it in tacos and fajitas. Usually I serve it with guacamole or a homeade pico de gallo or salsa with some rice on the side. Nice easy summer recipe! Prep time includes marinating time."
