Tequila Lime Chicken
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
(whole or cut in strips)
1 shot Tequila (shot glass is 1 oz I think)
1 shot lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, should be
pretty salty though)
Black pepper to taste
1 shot oil (I use olive oil, but vegetable
oil works too)
Cajun seasoning to taste (or paprika
or cayenne)
Directions
Mix all ingredients but chicken in a bowl. Pour
marinade into freezer bag with chicken, seal
with as little air in the bag as possible.
Marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
(if possible, you can do less if you are pressed
for time).
If you want to grill, that works nicely even on
indoor grill. If you saute or don't like to grill, reserve the marinade while browning the
chicken. Then once chicken is browned well,
pour in marinade in pan to deglaze (scrape
brown bits up), simmer until chicken is done
through. Serve with rice, pilaf, tortillas,
pasta, cornbread, whatever you like
