Grilled Chile Lemon Brick Chicken

June 14, 2014 by Momstart 2 Comments

Mexican flavors are my favorite, which is another reason why I SO love working with Hormel, they have a few Mexican brands, one of those being La Victoria. Here is another amazing recipe I received from the Hormel Family!. With a rich tomatillo sauce, this grilled chicken recipe is best when made with a foil-wrapped brick or heavy cast iron skillet to weigh the chicken down when grilling. Grilling perfection.grilled-chile-lemon-brick-chicken-recipe

    I have never heard of putting weight on a piece of chicken, thats very different. I suppose it cooks it a bit differently. It sounds yummy.
