Marinade and Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your tequila lime chicken!
