This was a delicious, quick and easy meal! I marinaded the chicken for around six hours, grilled and sliced the chicken. I served them burrito style with cilantro, shredded mexican cheese, fresh salsa, sour cream and Recipe #213549 (Rice and Beans).

I highly doubt that this is from Steve Ells. This recipe tastes nothing like Chipotle's chicken recipe. If it is from Mr. Ells, then it's mis-information so no one will get it right.
