Chicken Margarita

This is a recipe I contributed to my friend Renee Shepherd’s book, More Recipes from a Kitchen Garden. The tequila and lime juice work magic in this dish, resulting in the most tender chicken you've ever tasted!
Yield 2 servings

Ingredients

1 whole boneless chicken breast, halved.

MARINADE:
1 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup tequila
juice of 1 fresh lime
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño chile
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 Lay each chicken breast half on a cutting board and with a sharp knife slice horizontally, creating a total of four fillets.

2 Combine marinade ingredients. Place chicken in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning often.

3 Prepare a grill for medium heat.

4 Grill 6-8 minutes total, turning once, until no longer pink inside.
