Notes
Serve with tortillas and your favorite Mexican sides. Guacamole, sour cream, chips and salsa, Spanish rice, refried beans.
Note for grilling: prepare two large pieces of heavy duty foil, approximately 15 inches each. Divide onions and pepper evenly and place on foil. Leaving plenty of room to fold foil over to cover veggies and chicken at the end. Divide and spread spiced chicken over veggies leaving room to fold foil and enclose. Fold foil over and seal, by folding over in the middle and folding ends up so no juices drip out. Grill over medium heat, not too close to flame for 20 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet and allow to set for an additional 10 minutes before serving. This 10 minutes allows for residual cooking. This will allow to finish cooking without over cooking.
