    This recipe was sooooo good. I would even make this if I was having people over. Itโ€™s so simple, can easily be prepped ahead of time. I like making the pico, and having the chicken marinate in the morning when I have a few minutes then itโ€™s a really quick dinner!! This is better than take out.
