INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion salt
  • 1/2 cup margarita mix
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons tequila
  • 3 tablespoons triple sec
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup light olive oil
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place cilantro, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the bowl of a blender. Pour in margarita mix, lime juice, orange juice, tequila, triple sec, and honey. Puree on high speed until smooth, then reduce speed to medium-low, and slowly add the olive oil; blend until creamy. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl; pour marinade overtop and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 5 hours.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
  3. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Grill the chicken until tender and juices run clear, approximately 7 minutes per side.

My chicken marinated 6 hrs and I could barely pick up on a lime flavor. There are others on this site with fewer ingredients that have more flavor. I won't make this again

Tasted wonderful and so easy. The whole family loved it and then I told them what it was called. If your looking for great tasting chicken, this is it. It browned wonderful, looked like it came from a restaurant. (I assume it was because of the honey) Made it last week and am making it today. I didn't change a thing.

My husband made this recipe tonight for dinner. It was great!! Because of bad weather, he browned it after marinating on the stove and then put in oven with thickened sauce over it. Put a little cheese, green onions and it was wonderful!
