Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken
Recipe Name: Grilled Chicken for Fajitas

Number of Servings:
Preparation Time:
Ingredients:
4-Chicken Breasts
2-Cups of Margarita Mix (I prefer Mr. and Mrs. T's)
1/2-Cup Vinegar
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1-Tbsp Onion Powder
1-Tbsp Garlic Powder
1-Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
Lemon Pepper
Option for a kicked up version: Add one shot
of Tequila
Recipe:
1. Trim chicken breasts to remove fat
2. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, pound the each chicken
breast until they are about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.
3. Mix all ingredients into a bowl just big enough to hold the
chicken breasts while they are completely covered in the marinade.
4. Add chicken breasts, and refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour. The
longer they stay in the marinade, the more Tequila lime taste
they will have.
5. Season both sides of the chicken with Lemon Pepper before
grilling.
6. Grill over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes per side. Times
may vary depending on heat, just make sure that the meat is white
throughout the breast, and the juices run clear.
This is a great recipe for chicken fajitas. |
