Reviews
Only made the chicken, but the family loved it. Nice and moist with great flavor. Served on ciabatta with a jalepeno mayo. Definitely goes into rotation,
Only made the chicken on Kaiser rolls, served with lime tortilla chips. It’s a keeper. Next time with rice instead of rolls. Very tasty. 3 generations at the dinner table: it’s a keeper.
Love these and make them frequently. Great marinade and easy. Really like the salsa verde on the sandwich!
This chicken sandwhich was so good. I used Hatch Chili Salsa Verde with it. I can think of many other ways to use chicken with this marinade. My husband just loved it! I served it with fresh corn on the cob.
This turned out good… It made a lot of slaw which we did not end up eating all of it. I marinated the chicken for about 5 hours… It had good flavors. I made tomatillo salsa verde for the AR site to put on the sandwiches as a condiment. I would make this again but would half the slaw
We ended up marinating the chicken overnight due to a change in dinner plans and the chicken was really tasty. We loved the slaw too. You don’t need to make a sandwich of this. It stands alone
I picked this recipe because we had leftover cabbage and carrots from Guy Fieri’s mu shu chicken. It’s a good way to use the same ingredient in completely different ways.
I made this recipe for my girls and they loved it. They only thing I changed was the cabbage. We don’t really care for cabbage, so I used broccoli slaw instead. Great. Will make it again.
This marinade is delicous!
I don’t know if it was the marinade or my new George foreman grill but hubby said that was ” the best chicken I ever had!” It was just enough to favor the chicken but not too sweet. We did not make the sandwich…the chicken was flavorful to stand alone. Keeper!
This was so delish! I didn’t have honey so I used sugar instead, and I made a cilantro lime mayo for the bread instead of pico. This was so good. I was stuck in the “same dinner” rut. I think this got me out of it! My entire family loved these!
