Southwest Chicken Marinade and Baked Chicken

I can still smell this delicious marinade and it’s making me instantly hungry. I swear, if someone could bottle up this scent and sell it as an air freshener, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. The aroma that filled my house while chicken was baking was unbelievably tasty.

The great part about this whole dish is of course, the ease of preparing it. It takes 5 minutes to marinade the chicken and then 5 minutes to cut the vegetable and place everything in the baking dish. The longest part is waiting for the chicken to marinade.

I marinaded this chicken for about 24 hours actually but overnight is all it needs. It was a busy few days for me and I didn’t realize that hubby had to work through dinner, so my chicken marinated a little extra. Nothing wrong with that, the more flavor the better!
