Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
How to Make
-
Step 1: Put chicken in a re-sealable plastic bag. Whisk together marinade ingredients and pour over chicken. Seal bag and turn it gently so marinade coats each piece of chicken. Refrigerate for 4 hours (no more!).
-
Step 2: Pour marinade into small saucepan, leaving chicken in bag. Bring marinade to a boil and continue boiling for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
-
Step 3: Broil or grill chicken, turning once and basting frequently with boiled marinade, until thoroughly cooked.
