Note: I made this for the first time 2 weeks ago; since then, I have made twice more. It's definitely part of my summer meal rotation. This would be a perfect recipe for Father's Day!
Please link up your delicious chicken recipes – I can’t wait to see what everyone made! Definitely make an effort to visit the other members of Ina’s Garden, April at The 21st Century Housewife, Chaya at Comfy Cook's Kosher Kitchen, Yummy Chunklet at Yummychunklet, Mia at Bright Morning Star, and Peggy at Pantry Revisted, along with your fellow participants. We do ask that as a courtesy, you link back in your post to whichever host site you have linked to. It’s good blog hop etiquette, and it allows others to find one of the main Ina’s Garden posts and join in the fun. A simple, "Linked to Ina’s Garden at insert the name of whichever blog you have linked to, along with a link to their Ina’s Garden post here is absolutely fine.
We'd love for you to cook along with us for our next link up, which is Thursday, July 7th. Peggy at http://pantryrevisited.blogspot.com/ chose Zucchini Gratin, perfect for summer's bounty! If you'd like a head start on making the recipe, find the recipe here.
1/2 cup gold tequila (I used regular tequila)
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (I used 6 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper, about 1 pepper, seeded
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (I used skinless)
Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the chicken breasts.
Refrigerate 8 hours.
Heat a grill to medium-high.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them for about 6 minutes, until nicely browned.
Turn the chicken and cook until cooked through.
Remove from the grill to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

Louanne, your tequila lime chicken looks absolutely perfect and tasty! I was debating doing this, but I didn't have time. Good thing too because your chicken would've put mine to shame!
ReplyDeleteNice , easy , quick and absolutely delish!
ReplyDeleteUr s have turned so pretty besides being so delicious!
Grilling makes it sounds all the more good!
Your tequila lime chicken looks wonderful! I'm so glad you made it (and it must be wonderful if you have made it twice since!) as I have been wondering what it was like. I don't have Gold Tequila either so I'm glad to know it is good with the 'ordinary' stuff, and that you can use chicken breasts. Thank you for a great post, Louanne!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great summer (or anytime) recipe! This would even be great camping. I only have "bottom shelf" tequila at home too. Your pictures are mouth-watering, what perfect grill marks! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty. The problem with these fantastic chicken recipes is that I don't have enough time to make them. This one is moving up on the list.
ReplyDeleteOh my God this looks so good and i`m sure that it is delicious too. I think it is not a very difficult recipe so i will give it a try, thanks a lot for sharing.
