I LOOOVED this chicken. Seriously 10 out of 10! UPDATE: Make this all the time - leave the chicken in the bag to marinade overnight.... OLDER Review: Based on the two negative reviews - we only used 2 TBL loosly packed brown sugar. We put all the rest of the spices (plus the sugar) into a big zip lock bag. Then cut 2 lbs boneless / skinless chicken breasts into halfs. We then put olive oil over the chicken and added fresh ground pepper (as the recipe didn't call for any). Then put the oiled chicken into the bag shook to coat and then into the fridge for about 3 hours. The chicken went onto the grill at about 475 for about 12 minutes. We added the fresh squeezed lime over the chicken upon serving. My husband and I as well as our guests loved this chicken. If you enjoy southwest flavoring and chicken you will love this chicken. Very easy!

Great chicken! I rubbed a bit of olive oil with the seasonings into the chicken breasts and grilled on our gas grill. I cooked it immed. and found it juicy and flavorful. I didn't find it too sweet at all! Maybe it was the grill but I tasted the spices predominantly. I served with tortellini and alfredo sauce and tossed salad. I will make this recipe often!
