This dish was obtained from www.disneyfamily.com and was submitted by Alison Needham. It is a very tasty chicken dish that is perfect for summer entertaining. Serve it right off the grill or eat it cold, sliced and tossed into a salad. Just make sure you use fresh lime juice, which has a better flavor than the bottled kind.
Ingredients:
2 pounds of chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Zest of 1 lime
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
1/4 cup oil
2 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped) - optional if you don't care for the flavor
2 cloves garlic (mashed)
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Place all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a gallon-sized zip top plastic bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for one hour or overnight.
Coat pan (or grill) with oil or cooking spray ( I usually do not do this step and wait until the chicken releases from the grill - if it does not move it is not ready to flip). Heat pan (or grill) to medium-high (I will cook chicken over indirect heat after cross-hatch mark is completed so that it does not overcook). Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning breast a quarter turn after two minutes if cross-hatch marks are desired. Serve immediately.
Grill a few ears of fresh corn-on-the-cob (just shuck and throw on the grill) and you have one awesome combination. And don't forget the Margaritas...for the adults only.
Buon Appetito!
