Reyna is Spanish for queen, and Regina is the English equivalent of Reyna. Chicken Regina (AKA The Queen's Chicken) uses a tasty combination of lemon juice, dill, and the chili lime seasoning, Tajin. This dish was created by my daughter who loves to cook and create new recipes. The sauce is great over rice or baked potatoes, and the onions that come out of the bottom of the pan are delicious.
This recipe is not in Pieces of the Past because my daughter invented it after the cookbook was published. But I'm glad to share it with you because it is so good (and I'm a little bit proud of her).
I don't have step-by-step photos, but what I have is enough to fling a craving on anyone! I hope you give this a try.
