When you're throwing together fajitas, you need a good marinade. This zesty marinade has flavors from all over the map including soy sauce, Italian dressing, and honey that add loads of flavor to the chicken.

ingredients
1 cup Italian salad dressing
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned meat tenderizer
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (pizza flakes)
1 ounce honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic (jar is OK)
2 dashes Louisiana hot sauce (or to taste)
1 handful fresh cilantro, mostly leaves
directions
Blend all ingredients in food processor and marinate chicken breasts at least several hours or preferably overnight. I pound boneless chicken breasts to even thickness and tenderize meat by punching small holes.
Grill about 8-10 minutes being careful not to overcook and toughen meat.
Warm extra marinade on the side for sauce or dipping.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Wow! I have never bothered to write a review for any recipe, but had to speak up for this one. This is simply one of the best marinades I have ever used & my wife and I have been cooking for 25 years. You will not want your chicken grilled any other way. Fantastic!
