Notes
Helping Hands: While this is a meat recipe, the marinade can easily be made with kids. My son loves to whisk all the ingredients together before I add the chicken.
What to serve with it: This is such a flexible recipe! We serve it with cilantro lime rice, rice pilaf, a wild rice blend, roasted veggies, etc. I have a great roasted vegetable couscous recipe that I will share soon that works great with this as well.
