Ingredients

  • 1 cup Wishbone Italian dressing (other brands not as good)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (prefer Kimlan or Kikkoman)
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 Tablespoon Bolner's Fiesta brand fajita seasoning (from San Antonio)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned meat tenderizer (McCormick's)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (pizza flakes)
  • 1 ounce honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (jar is OK)
  • 2-3 dashes Louisiana hot sauce
  • handful of fresh cilantro, mostly leaves

Directions

1

Blend all ingredients in food processor and marinate chicken breasts at least several hours or preferably overnight. I pound boneless chicken breasts to even thickness and tenderize meat by punching small holes. Grill about 8-10 minutes being careful not to overcook and toughen meat. Warm extra marinade on the side for sauce or dipping.
