Ingredients

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin and even
  • 1/2 cup margarita mix
  • 2 Tbsp. tequila
  • 2 Tbsp. orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • prepared pico de gallo, optional
  • tortilla strips, optional
  • 1 batch Mexican rice, optional
  • 1 batch seasoned black beans, optional

Instructions

  • Whisk together margarita mix, tequila, orange juice, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a bowl (that has a lid) or a ziptop bag. Pour marinade over the chicken and move around to ensure it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat (around 400 degrees). Once hot, place chicken on grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Serve with Mexican rice and seasoned black beans if desired. Top with pico and tortilla strips.
