Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Fresh lime wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine chicken, tequila and lime juice in small shallow dish. Cover and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.

    Step 2

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked through, occasionally basting chicken with some reserved marinade, about 4 minutes per side. Boil remaining marinade in small saucepan 1 minute.

  2. Step 3

    Cut each chicken breast crosswise into thin slices. Arrange slices on platter. Garnish with lime wedges. Serve, passing marinade separately as sauce.
