I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I thought the chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chipotle powder if you don't like spicy food.

I wasn't a fan of the chipotle flavor in this recipe. I think I would have preferred a more traditional grilled chicken flavor.
