Mexican Chicken Adobo
Made this recipe years ago and have modified it somewhat from the original. Once you make it, it will be your favorite. Best when the chicken is marinated 2 days but can be done when marinated for 24 hours. For the chicken breast, I normally buy 1/2 a breast per person. If the breast are large, I cut each breast in half.
