This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the marinade. The chicken still tasted great.

I didn't have any chipotle peppers, so I used a teaspoon of chili powder instead. The chicken still turned out great!

This grilled chicken recipe is a fantastic blend of flavors. The marinade infuses the chicken with a delicious smoky and spicy taste, and the grilled vegetables add a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.
