Answers:
Margarita Chicken
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Fresh lime wedges
Combine chicken, tequila and lime juice in small shallow
dish. Cover and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2
hours, turning occasionally.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler.
Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Season chicken with salt
and pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked through,
occasionally basting chicken with some reserved marinade,
about 4 minutes per side. Boil remaining marinade in small
saucepan 1 minute.
Cut each chicken breast crosswise into thin slices. Arrange
slices on platter. Garnish with lime wedges. Serve, passing
marinade separately as sauce.
