The recipe makes about 1 1/4 cups, but only 1/4 cup was absorbed into the chicken. The nutritional counts are based on just 1/4 cup of marinade. The original recipe called for a whole tablespoon of salt but it made the chicken a little too salty. I've cut it back to 1 teaspoon here. The flavor is delicious and I think it will make a good substitute for the bottled fajita marinade that I normally use.
