Tequila Lime Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix tequila, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in chopped cilantro.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a serving of cilantro lime rice. Top with grilled chicken, pour fiesta sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with four-cheese blend.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled plates in the oven for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and create a golden brown topping.
