Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons onion salt

  • ½ cup margarita mix

  • ¼ cup lime juice

  • ¼ 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 salt 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.
