Grilled Chicken With Chile Verde Sauce

Sue Lau's Note:

This makes extra sauce, which is easy to freeze and use for more chicken, or even enchiladas. And since I made this for my family of three, if you want to increase the recipe to say 4 or 6, just increase the chicken and marinade but leave the chile verde sauce quantities the same. If you have no immediate use for the extra sauce, freeze it for later. Oh, and sorry my picture is a little blurry. It was the best one I had of this when I made it, but at least it gives you an idea of what the finished item looks like. --Sue
