A year or so ago my friend made this, both she and I lost the recipe and I googled it for half an hour and was so thankful to find it here! Made it for a family dinner last night and everyone raved. One of my favorite recipes and now I have it saved on my email, hard drive and have a hard copy! Thanks so much!

We love this recipe! I usually double the dressing with extra garlic(4cloves). I chop the cilantro and add it to the dressing. I grill the chicken, add the dressing and serve over steamed rice and broccoli or petite peas. Yummy!
