i didn't get a chance to marinade the full 2 hours, but it came out pretty good anyway. not too spicy, even my picky 4yr old liked it.

This was so wondeful! I used 4 chicken breast cut into 3rds and pounded. I added 1 tsp of cumin, because it's just not Mexican without lots of cumin. I used fresh garlic and it marinated for 2 hours. We grilled it and had it as a salad. We LOVED it and will be making it again! Thanks!

Just the right amount of spices and citrus. I grilled the chicken and paired it with mexican rice and beans. We really enjoyed this because it was so flavorful but yet not so spicy my son would frown upon the kitchen. The chicken was also incredibly moist. I am planning on using this chicken in soup and tacos in the future.
