I have your answer for the next dinner party you’re hosting. This chicken is on another level of amazing. It’s loaded with so many incredible, fresh flavors from the Peruvian marinade and the Peruvian sauce. It’s a fun recipe to entertain with as it’s super affordable and very easy to make. My spin on the ever popular Peruvian sauce is made up with lime juice, fresh herbs, jalapeño and non fat greek yogurt. It’s the perfect balance of spicy freshness that pairs so well with the chicken. This is a recipe you need in your arsenal! You’ll be sure to impress your guests with this one!
