This chicken is awesome! I made the chicken alone w/ sides instead of a sandwich and it was wonderful. Try Guy's potato recipe that uses bacon, cheese, and crab boil seasoning with it. I've actually made it 4 times and everytime I serve it people rave over it. If you're out of tequila (from making too many margaritas you can use rum or another alcohol to marinate the chicken. I added extra cilantro because my family loves it.

AAAWWWEEESOME!!!!! The only part I changed (mostly because I became bored with trying to sort out the red peppers was to fry the jalapeno peppers with the red peppers. The burst of flavor was just totally perfect and the jalapenos added that final zing!!! I do believe I have found my main go to for sandwiches. I recently landed a local school district for catering faculty events, which will obviously be mainly day/lunch type food, something I really haven't done much with so this past week has been sandwich dinners, testing different sandwiches to get ready for the first faculty event. I know this sandwich will sign seal and deliver this district as an account for the life of my catering days!!! Thank you Guy!!!
