Tequila- Lime Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 3 Whole Limes, Juiced
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Peeled
  • 1 Whole Jalapeno, sliced
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Tequila (optional)
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, Grated
  • Pico De Gallo
  • Refried Pinto or Black Beans
  • Mexican Rice
  • Sour Cream
  • Avocado Slices
  • Flour Tortillas
Preparation Instructions:

Combine lime juice, garlic cloves, sliced jalapeno, salt, cilantro, and tequila (optional) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until combined. Turn on the blender/food processor and drizzle in the olive oil until it's all combined.

Slightly flatten chicken breasts with a mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet. Place in a plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag and marinate for several hours or (preferably ) overnight.

When ready to cook, remove chicken from bag and place on the grill. Cook until completely done. Toward the end of cooking, top chicken breasts with grated Monterey Jack and allow to melt. (You can also top chicken with cheese and melt under the broiler.)

Serve topped with pico de gallo or salsa, alongside refried black beans, mexican rice, sour cream, avocado slices, flour tortillas.

Enjoy! This is absolutely delicious.
