Looking for a little something to kick your grilled chicken up a notch? How about a little tequila and some chipotle chilies? I swear you will think you're on the beach soaking up the sun and enjoying the sound of the surf. When we eat this I swear I can almost feel the sand between my toes! The chicken is not spicy so don't let the chipotle chilies scare you. You can serve this like I did below with all the standard fajita fixings, or it is delicious served as a whole breast with some Cilantro-Lime rice and grilled veggies.
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can of chipotle chilis
3 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and flattened to uniform thickness
Combine all of the ingredients, except the chicken breasts in a small bowl. Whisk well until combines. Place the chicken breasts in a plastic ziplock bag and pour marinade over the chicken. Place in fridge and let marinate for 3-4 hours. Grill until cooked through.
Check out this post for what to do with the leftover chipotle chilies from the can.
Enjoy!
