You can grill or sauté the chicken, either one turns this into a slightly different, yet still fantastic chicken. Goes great with red beans and rice (see recipe 48913 or buy a prepacked box) or as filling for a Tex Mex-type burrito or enchilada. Also could be 'kabobed' and grilled using the vinegar sauce as a mop. Very versatile! And feel free to play with the tart and sweet balance to your liking by adding more or less vinegar and sugar. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts or 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon red chili powder |
1 tablespoon cumin |
1/2 tablespoon paprika (for color and taste) |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 -2 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 -2 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
salt and pepper |
