We called this ‘sunset chicken’ because the orange sauce and pink onions reminded us of a sunset.
Grandma's Secret Trick
My grandmother learned to make this dish on a trip to the Baja in California. She said she ate it in several places, where it was often seasoned with oregano or cinnamon. So occasionally, she added 1/2 teaspoon oregano or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to the marinade to give it the authentic Mexican flavoring she enjoyed.
Grandma loved making this quick-fix dish because it gave her more time to spend with the family.
With just a little advance preparation, Grandma had this on the table in no time.
This lemony chicken was one of Grandma’s favorites, and she often requested it on her birthday.
