Grilled Tequila Chicken with Sauteed Pepper & Onion

by
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Keywords: grill entree low-sodium chicken summer
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup tequila
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
Instructions:
1) Measure the lime juice, tequila, garlic, cilantro, agave nectar, black pepper, cumin, and coriander into a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
2) Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Add to mixture and turn several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
3) Heat the grill. Once ready, cook chicken until no longer pink but still juicy and tender, about 10 minutes per side.
4) While chicken is grilling, heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced peppers and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5) Remove chicken from grill. Plate each breast with 1/4 of the veggies and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.

Thanks Miz Helen you are a sweetheart. We usually start after Labor Day in NY, this year it is early Sept 2nd... though I know it isn't early for most of country.
DeleteAnother beautiful recipe Diane. We eat a lot of chicken but every time I look at it I wonder what I'm going to cook. This will be high on my list. Thanks so much for linking up. I'm featuring this one at tomorrow's party. (Spring is nearly here and we'll all be looking forward to quick, light meals.)
