mango margarita chicken

Zesty, juicy, and fresh.
This is a summertime staple that will not disappoint (or heat up your kitchen).

Mango Margarita Chicken

5 Chicken Breasts, Boneless Skinless
2 cups Williams-Sonoma Mango Margarita Mix
1 cup Tequila (I prefer white; it has a lighter flavor.)
1 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika
1 Tbsp. Grill Seasoning
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1 Shallot, finely diced

Mix all ingredients, except Tequila, in a large Ziplock freezer bag. Add chicken breasts to marinade, zip closed, and massage marinade into chicken. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but overnight is best.

Preheat an oiled grill to medium-high.

Add tequila to bag, and continue to marinate for an additional 30 minutes.

Grill chicken for 6 minutes per side (or until juices run clear).
As chicken comes off of the grill, squeeze fresh lime juice over them.

I am all about this tasty, non-heat up my kitchen chicken.

I love flat enchiladas with an egg. I do that all the time! With an obscene amount of sour cream, I must add.
