Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside ¼ of the marinade (and place in separate sealed container in fridge)
Cover raw chicken with remaining marinade in a sealed container and place in fridge to marinate overnight (8 hours)
Remove chicken from marinade and dispose of used marinade. *The chicken will have a pinkish/orange color from the marinade.
Grill (or cook in frying pan on stovetop over medium-high heat) marinated chicken until thoroughly cooked, internal temperature is 165 degrees F/74 degrees C (about 15-20 minutes), brushing with the marinade you set aside, before removing from the grill.
Serve hot.
Notes
ðŸ’Top TipThis Copycat Chicken Monterey recipe is better grilled, but if it's too cold to grill outside and you don't have an indoor grill, then a stove top grill may be a good option for you. But you can also make it in a frying pan (that's what I did, as I bought my stovetop grill AFTER I made this recipe)! See my Amazon Recommendations (in NOTES) for stove top grill, if you don't have one. If you don't have a stove top grill, then check out these Amazon Recommendations (affiliate links)
