Comments

This recipe is from Kayln’s Kitchen.  I double the rub ingredients and made some chicken tenders as well, since Art does not eat fish.  I thought this was pretty tasty, but ended up with way more cabbage salad than I needed for the amount of chicken and fish we had.  I sort of wish I had served this with soft tacos for the guys, that would probably have been a nice addition although it was certainly fine just in salad form!
