Margarita Chicken - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup margarita mix
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 fresh garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
lime wedges and cilantro (to garnish)
Preparation
-
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. This is important!
Combine all ingredients in a blender except chicken.
Pour marinade over chicken and let sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes per side, turning once. Since the thick parts have been flattened, the whole breast should develop a nice, caramelized texture without drying out.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice for fajitas, or serve whole with lime wedges and cilantro.
