One of my favorite recipes! Depending on who I'm making it for I'll substitute a spicier pepper, and everyone is always a happy camper.
For leftovers: pull apart some of the chicken and put it in a quesadilla with monterrey jack cheese and some of the mango salsa on top. YUM!

This chicken was packed with flavor, although it wasn't too spicy, and because some of my guests are averse to spicy foods, it was the perfect recipe for entertaining. Fourth of July was a hit!
