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.
