This recipe isn't even close, using a tomato base is the wrong direction

    It was raining so I didn't grill this. I ended up dicing the chicken breast up and cooking it in a sauce pan. We made chicken empanadas stuffed with this and ate it in chicken tacos - so delicious. Can't wait for a sunny day to try it on the grill. Everyone at the party, even the picky eaters, liked it.

    I eat as much chicken as possible, especially baked or grilled. That being said I think its fair enough to say I've had my share of El Pollo Loco, and unfortunately this recipe did NOT taste very much like it. The sauce seemed very "tomato-ey" when I was expecting the the citrus taste the El pollo loco brings to the table.

    Wow katie - we loved this chicken! I marinated the chicken for 9 hours (subbed another brand of chilli sauce).Cooked in a cast-iron pan on the stove for 20 minutes then sliced the breasts and served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.This chicken packs a mean punch!!! What a winner dinner.
