Chili’s Margarita Chicken

by

This has turned into copycat week! I’ve always liked Chili’s Margarita Chicken, but had no idea it was this easy! You basically just use the margarita mix as your marinade! And check out http://www.tipsaroundthehouse.com for helpful tips on working with fresh garlic!

Chili’s Margarita Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 C liquid margarita mix
1 t garlic powder or 1 chopped garlic clove
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Pour margarita mix over chicken breasts, and marinate for 2 hours in refrigerator.

When ready to prepare, drain and dust chicken breasts with black pepper. Grill 3-4 minutes on each side. You can also prepare the chicken over medium-high heat on the stove top in a lightly greased skillet. Braise the chicken breasts until done on each side. Place chicken breasts atop Black Beans.

Serve with a serving of your favorite Mexican rice and Pico de Gallo.
4 servings
