Grilled Chicken with Chorizo Confetti

This recent Cooking Light recipe was a hit.  It takes quite a bit of time to assemble (especially if you're making other components to the dinner such as sides), and Corey and I preferred to grill the chicken outside instead of pan grilling it as the recipe suggests.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO CONFETTI

Recipe Notes

Instead of pan grilling the chicken, Corey grilled it outside for me after marinating the chicken breasts in Ken's Light Northern Italian dressing, Worchestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
