I decided to make this for my family one night for dinner. They loved it! I didn't have the cilantro but the recipe still rocked. My kids who are very fussy, asked for seconds. I grilled the chicken to mark it, then slow cooked it in the oven....When it was in the oven, I poured picante over the top....It was yummy....Making it again real soon.10/24/09

This is hands down our favorite marinade! Perfect for everyday meals but also a great crowd pleaser when having company over for dinner. I add a little more liquid (a little vinger and water) to cover the chicken breasts better, does not seem to affect taste. I am always asked for a copy of this recipe when someone tries it!10/30/07
