How to Make Stove Top Margarita Chicken With Fresh Corn Relish

  1. In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 8 hours).
  3. When ready to cook, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until browned.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of the reserved marinade into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Turn chicken halfway through.
  6. While the chicken cooks, prepare the corn relish (see below).
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter.
  8. Top with the fresh corn relish and garnish with lime wedges.
