I know it has been a while since my last post, but we have been traveling for work and some fun on the side ;) and that always means eating out and no cooking. When we came home there was a new issue of Cooking Light waiting in the mailbox. I actually waited and read it over my leisurely breakfast and as usual, there were tons of recipes I ripped out to try. Jason loves chicken and I prefer the thighs for the dark meat. This recipe could be used on whatever type of chicken you like, just keep in mind the boneless can cook faster so keep an eye on them. Jason grilled a few whole mini bell peppers as well, they are so much cuter when a mini! The chicken had a lot of flavor and the serrano gave it some spice but kept it pretty mild, you can keep the seeds in if you prefer things spicier.
