PICANTE POLLO A LA MEXICANA(SPICY MEXICAN CHICKEN)
This Spicy Chicken dish is a feast for the taste buds. It is easy to prepare and brings a lot of flavor and flair to a weeknight dinner. I did my best to recreate the flavors from one of my favorite dishes from one of my favorite Mexican restaraunts and I think I nailed it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
