How to Make Grilled Margarita Chicken
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons triple sec, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Place chicken breasts in an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
- Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring each breast is fully coated. Turn to coat both sides.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour (do not marinate longer to prevent the lime juice from cooking the chicken).
- Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
