Let's face it...at this point the summer bbq's need a face lift...or a new twist!
I don't know about you, but for me, at this point in the summer I'm starting to feel the burn!
I have three active kids that wake up every morning begging to do something fun, and I gotta be honest Im pooped!
Its the same with our meals...they LOVEEEE burgers on the bbq or chicken lathered in bbq sauce....but I like to switch it up. This Margarita chicken is just what I needed to remind me that summer is not over...not even close! (and this makes having Tequila with my dinner acceptable)
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons Tequila
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 2 limes
1/3 cup chopped Cilantro
1 teaspoon of coarse salt
~In a bowl whisk oil, honey, tequila and salt until combined
~Zest and juice the limes over the bowl and whisk again to combine
~In a freezer bag, place the chicken breasts, the marinade and the cilantro inside. Seal the bag, releasing all the air and massage until the chicken is evenly coated
~Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes
~Grill the chicken until tender and the juices run clear
This chicken is begging for a Mexican side dish. Cilantro infused rice or black bean salsa is the perfect side to this dinner!
