Margarita Chicken

A great filler for quesadillas or fajitas, this chicken is flavorful and juicy. A real crowd-pleaser!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

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)

Directions

1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. This is important!
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender except chicken.
3. Pour marinade over chicken and let sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
5. 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.
6. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice for fajitas, or serve whole with lime wedges and cilantro.
