I'm always looking for lighter recipes to take on tailgate outings. This one is quick and easy to marinate and take along. It's also great tasting and a family favorite. Veronica Callaghan-Glastonbury, Connecticut

I add a little garlic powder to the marinade and the sauce. Also, I let the chicken marinade overnight, which cut down my prep time when we were ready for dinner & gave the chicken a nice mostness & good flavor. Honestly, the chicken was delicious without the sauce!

Really enjoyed this recipe however the avocado sauce was a bit too limey for us and the chicken had a nice kick to it which we were not expecting; so the kids did not get chicken that night:) I will make this again but with less lime.

I made this when some of my husband's friends came over, and was embarrassed. The marinade was ok, not amazing, and the sauce was boring and blah. Also, the adobo sauce was a hassle to find and not worth it. I won't even try to adapt this recipe- I don't know where to start.

I would do this with lemon herb instead of the lime pepper though.

This is really quite good if you don't like the marinade try your usual one. This is delicious with Rachel's Ray's avocado sauce(almost the same) and the pepper/olive relish. I think it was fine. Just tune it to your own liking.

Making tonight. Will add cumin and minced garlic to the sauce and perhaps the marinade as well.

Haven't tried this yet, but agree with the other reviews - the marinade sounds like it needs some extra flavor. But then I REALLY like seasoning! I will probably make these but add some garlic powder, onion powder, pepper etc to the marinade.

Marinade needed work, flavors didnt work well together and needed something.
