Tequila Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together tequila, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by combining shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and serve it on top of the prepared salad. Optionally, drizzle with additional lime juice or your favorite dressing.
