    This is my kind of recipe, very simple and delicious. I did sauté the onions and mushrooms on the kitchen stove but then followed the rest of the recipe as shown.

    This recipe could easily be increased for a larger group of eaters.

    Made this last night for family and friends. Super easy and absolutely delicious. We were actually all stunned at how good it tasted, considering how simple it all was. And the Salsa Rice recipe . . . wow, who’d of thought it could be that easy too?
    On a personal creative note, I pre-smoked the chicken fillets and the bacon for 30+ minutes @ 180 degrees before kicking up the heat to start the veggies. Figured the kiss of smoke couldn’t hurt. And it didn’t. 😉
    Thanks Malcom for this recipe and all that you do to share your BBQ experience and knowledge with us all!

    This recipe is to die for! The only change I made was doubled the amount of onions and mushrooms. It was so good that my wife requested that I make it at least once a week. Keep it comin’ Malcom!
