Tender chicken shot through with a simple marinade and livened with a spicy-sweet Tex-Mex sauce works well for a casual dinner party or a regular old Wednesday night. This dish, originally from Golden Annie’s in Frisco, Colorado, can be prepared in advance, although don’t worry if you only have time to let the chicken marinate a few hours.
