    So, so good! The marinade was the real star of the recipe, and I'm glad I took the time to marinate the chicken overnight- it really made a difference. I loved the guacamole as well. I don't have a grill, so I cooked the chicken on the foreman grill, and then later cooked the quesadillas on a frying pan coated with cooking spray. It worked fine, although I'd love to try making these on a grill! [Made & Reviewed for PRMR]
