Chicken fajitas and spanish rice

Posts: 9,867
Chicken and veggies done on Egg. I marinated the chicken overnight (marinade below).
Started the chicken raised, direct, then finished in CI griddle to get that crust like one finds at a resturaunt. Veggies, just EVOO, salt, and pepper. Had them just under the chicken to get some of those juices.
Not pictured : wheat tortillas,chipotle sour cream, lettuce, and cilantro.
Marinade:
1/2 cup orange juice
juice of one lemon
Tablespoon salt
Tablespoon pepper
Tablespoon chili powder (wish I had anchio)
Tablespoon cumin
Dried parsley for giggles (tablespoon)
5 dashes of Choulua Chipotle.
EVOO (at the end to emulsify)

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Thanks John and Scottie!------------------------------

How was that marinade? Would you recommend its use or no?

@SGH, I would recommend it. However, I wished it had a little more chili flavor. I think using anchio chili powder would have worked and maybe a tad more. My wife on the other hand loved it.------------------------------

The Spanish rice was made following THIS recipe. It wasn't in my pictures, but I added some shredded Mexican blend cheese on top of the rice and a dab of chipoltle sour cream.I recommend that recipe as well. The recipe calls for whole tomatoes. When I was stirring, I smashed up the tomatoes so there wouldn't be a lot of large chunks.------------------------------

Good looking cook, what type of setup are you using?

@Phatchris, thanks. The second tier is the Grill Dome Extender. Then just standard grid with small CI pan for veggies.------------------------------
