serves 4
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
½ cup tequila
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
zest of one lime
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Place chicken breasts into a re-sealable gallon-sized plastic bag.
Mix together tequila, lime juice, zest, garlic, cumin and salt. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade, refrigerating until needed. Pour the remainder over chicken breasts. Allow chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of ½ hour and up to 2 hours. Take chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and drain marinade ½ hour before grilling. Dry chicken breasts with a paper towel to encourage browning.
When you are ready to grill the chicken, create melt butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat. When butter is melted, add reserved marinade and stir to combine until heated through. Set aside.
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, brushing with butter mixture as the chicken cooks.
