Serves 4
Note: From Meredith Deeds.
• 1/4 c. tequila
• 1/4 c. lime juice
• 1/4 c. orange juice
• Zest of 1 lime
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp. chili powder
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. honey
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 lime, sliced into wedges, for serving, optional
Directions
In a 1-gallon freezer bag, combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Close the bag and shake it up a bit. Add the chicken breasts and turn the bag back and forth until the breasts are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Clean the grill and preheat to medium-high. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and brush any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is just done. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
