Bell peppers are milder and more affordable.

Marinate the chicken with garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess.

Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the creamy jalapeño cilantro sauce.

Blend jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream, lime zest, and white vinegar until smooth.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Slice the chicken and serve with the creamy jalapeño cilantro sauce on the side.
