Tequila Lime Chicken


tequila lime chicken

Tequila Lime Chicken is a delicious marinated recipe that can be used in fajitas, tacos, burritos or salads.

The marinade is easy to put together. It's important to use real lime juice and not the concentrated stuff. The meat will have an odd flavor if you don't use fresh limes.

After the it has marinated for 12 hours it will look white in appearance. This is due to the acid in the citrus but don't worry about this, it will turn out tender and full of flavor after you grill it.

This recipe is great by itself or sliced up and made into fajitas. We have also cut it up into bite sized pieces and served it on a salad.

Preheat the grill to medium heat, and brush the grill rack with oil.
Grill the chicken 10 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook another 8 minutes.
Serve as fajitas, tacos or just as they are.
