Spicy Red Chile Grilled Chicken

When it comes to chicken there are 101 ways to make it. One of my personal favorites is grilled chicken with a spicy red chile marinade. The red chile in the marinade makes for a spicy bite to this dish. The marinade is my unique creation, I wanted something flavorful that went well with the flavors of the southwest cuisine here in New Mexico. Red chile is a big part of our local fair and goes well with some many recipes. This chicken is great served alone or in a corn or flour tortilla.
The grilled corn and calabacitas pair well with the red chile grilled chicken to make this a complete meal. The grilled chicken here is shown with calabicitas. Calabacitas is a vegetable sauté that uses Mexican squash, yellow squash, zucchini, onion, green chile and sweet corn. It is often topped with pepper jack cheese. The perfect combination!
Bon Appetit,
