Tequila Lime Chicken


It's getting hot outside.  Time to grill!  I'm always looking for new ways to make grilled chicken.  This recipe goes great with margaritas ;)  It would be good in tacos too.


Ingredients:  tequila, limes, oranges, chili powder, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper and boneless skinless chicken breasts.


Juice the limes and oranges.


Mince the jalapeno and garlic.


Mix all of the ingredients together.


And submerge the chicken.  Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or overnight.


When you take it out of the fridge it the acid in the citrus juice will have cooked the chicken a little and it will start to look opaque.  Don't worry - it won't affect the flavor.


Then grill it! (or make your husband grill it).  Yum!

*Note:  the recipe is VERY limey.  I would suggest 3/4 c. lime juice and 3/4 c. orange juice.
