My husband is not a fan of chicken, for him to love it and ask to make it again means it is REALLY good. The kids really love it as well. This recipe has become one of our favorites to make, no one seems to get tired of it. Our favorite way of having this chicken, is we make street tacos. With the small corn tortillas, topped off with a mix of chopped onion and cilantro.

What I love about chicken, is the possibilities are unless. There are so many ways of dressing up your chicken. Also typically, chicken does not take a long time to cook. Which makes it a great protein to make during the week when most of us are pressed on time.
