I made this recipe last night…..it was delicious! My husband said it had so much flavor, I agree! I used the juice of one whole lemon. I assume that’s what she means, since you need liquid for the marinade….it turned out perfect this way. Thanks for the recipe!

Sounds easy and delish…my kind of recipe!

I’m wondering about the lemon too. :)

Do you mean one whole lemon? Peel and all? Or the juice of a lemon?

How ironic we all questioned the “whole lemon”. I couldn’t decide. Ultimately, I used the juice and the zest. I just couldn’t bring myself to toss in a “whole lemon”. I wanted to bump up the flavor a bit more so I also threw in a handfull of cilantro. I could have asily used 2 jalepenos because it wan’t “hot” spicy. I processed it all and then poured it over “pounded chicken” to marinate over night. All of my guests enjoyed it and commented on how flavorful it tasted. I must say, it was definitely easy. I will make this again for sure. I served it with pearled couscous and steamed broccoli tossed with a little garlic butter. It was good!

This was delicious! I used it to marinate chicken for kabobs. Very flavorful and the spice was perfect – even my young boys cleaned their plates! Thanks!
