peppers along with vinegar and garlic combine to give this chicken tons of
flavor, and the marinade is made into the sauce so this recipe is a time saver

Instructions

1 To make the marinade, combine everything but the mayo and bay leaves in a
blender and blend until smooth.
2 Pour into a sauce pan and simmer with the bay leaves for 10 minutes. Remove the
bay leaves and separate 1/2 of the marinade for the chicken and 1/2 to use for
the sauce. If you want to add mayo (this is optional) add a few tbsp of mayo the
1/2 the sauce and refrigerate until you will serve.
3 Add the other 1/2 marinade to a ziploc bag with the chicken and marinate a few
hours up to overnight. I did mine overnight. When you are ready to cook this,
you can cook on the stove top, grill or in the oven.
4 I like to use my oven on the broiler setting to get a similar char to the grill.
Heat the broiler on high and place chicken on a sheet pan lined with foil and
sprayed with oil spray. Move your oven rack up close to the broiler, but not
right against it. Broil the chicken for 5-10 minutes per side until you get some
nice char and it is also at least 165 in the thickest part of the breast. Don't
overcook.
5 Allow to rest for 5 minutes then serve over rice with the sauce.
