Tequila Lime Chicken
A delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish marinated in tequila and lime for a flavorful kick.
Ingredients
- skinless, boneless chicken breasts (3 )
- tequila (0.5 cup)
- lime (1 )
- garlic powder (0.25 teaspoon)
- chili powder (0.25 teaspoon)
- shredded Mexican-style cheese blend (3 ounces)
Instructions
- Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish; add tequila and juice of 1/2 a lime. Sprinkle 1/2 of the lime zest, 1/2 of the garlic powder, and 1/2 of the chili powder over the chicken. Cover dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Turn chicken breasts; sprinkle remaining lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, and chili powder on top. Cover again and marinate in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Uncover baking dish and discard tequila-lime marinade.
- Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle Mexican-style cheese over the chicken and continue to bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
