Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for a few hours before grilling. You can also try adding other toppings like avocado slices, salsa, or cheese. If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop. Store leftovers separately and warm before serving again.
